For Lori

You know what I love? When it hits Midnight and laying in the bed by herself just isn't enough for Nova. She will spend all day spread out over the covers enjoying every moment of solitude but once it comes a certain time at night she feels I should be sleeping also and instead of laying in our soft bed she lays curled up at my feet as I type this. It has inspired me to make a list of 10 things I love

1. Stepping outside and smelling the sea
2. That really clean feeling you get right after a shower
3. A crazy afternoon with Sarah, she is probably one of the funnest people I know!
4. A clean house
5. Watching Sitka look out the window
6. Sitting around and talking with friends
7. I love, love, love jogging. I need to get in better shape so I can do it more
8. Talking to my sister
9. Surprise phone calls from people who I used to spend every day with
10. Driving with the windows down, a good song playing and that feeling of getting away from everything

I've gotten in the habit of sitting my room on my computer for awhile before I go to bed. It's my time to de-stress and clear my mind and I've been finding more and more just how much I truly enjoy these moments of solitude and clarity. It's the one time of day I don't have to be doing something or going somewhere. It seems like life has been getting busier and busier, it's nice sometimes to just sit back and enjoy a few moments by myself.
