Things that make me happy

A beautiful, cool day that makes it feel like fall is already beginning. If it doesn't break 95 again this year, I will be thrilled beyond belief.

Having the house organized, clean, redecorated (the upstairs bathroom at least), and ready for the arrival of a new roommate and the third epoch of the Alexandria girls' townhouse.

Time to tend my garden with more than just a drink of water. (The plants do need to be fertilized, though.)

A new shirt from Ann Taylor Loft (on sale of course) followed by a long, meandering walk around the Old Town Alexandria waterfront.

A day off tomorrow (even if I have to go to the dentist and take my computer to the "hospital").

Soft, pink, fuzzy yarn and a new stitch learned for a baby blanket.

Time to think about my blog and my Fantasy Football team.

Learning to cherish the past without clutching it.

A roommate who has put up with me every day for nearly three years.

Other friends who have managed to put up with me even longer.

Cell phones, so I can talk to Mom and Dad almost whenever any of us feel like it.

Walking.

Quiet.

Mercies new every morning.
