spoken gratitude

1. the first swim of the season

2. the smell of suntan lotion

3. sunbeams through the trees in the forest reflecting off insect wings creating the illusion of thousands of woodland sprites aloft amongst the trees.

4. watching the clouds go by

5. Roxie's teacher, Martina, who is a fabulous teacher and person

6. catching the aphids early before damage is done

7. the first parek v rohliku (hot dog) of the season eaten by the pool...yummmy

8. sitting on the patio with Dan and the girls at 8pm as the day finally cools down

9. tan lines

10. swim goggles...kids look so fabulously hysterical in them. It is hard to have a conversation with Roxie while she is wearing them.
