I was just reading yarnstorm's blog and she cheered me up immensely! She talks about the little pleasures of life that make life good. And she posed the question, "What are your small pleasantnesses?" Well, I think that a question like this is just what I need to get out of the "low downs" that I have been feeling lately.
So, here goes:
Some of my small pleasantnesses include the first cup of coffee in the morning (often consumed with a little white dog in my lap), an impromptu canary serenade, a really good book-that you just can't put down, beautiful fabric or yarn that calls me to make something, a good belly laugh with my husband or a friend, a cup of really nice tea and a homemade scone, good music-a song I can sing along to-right now I am listening to Glenn Miller playing When You Wish Upon a Star on Pandora Radio, the Sunday New York Times, nonpariels or jordan almonds from The End of The Trail Candy Shop, a cool evening after a rain, a baby in a handknit baby sweater.
Can you think of any small pleasantnesses? Help me by sharing a few, OK?

Oh thank you Michele...I knew you would help me out of the doldrums! I don't know how I would get by without friends like you 8>))
here's my list. I posted it on my blog, but I wanted to thank you directly........it feels good to make such a list!my small pleasantnesses
cool summer evenings without mosquitoes
strong coffee with milk
gumdrops
getting the mail
the curl in Emili's hair
casting on the correct number of stitches without counting
hearing the high school marching band practicing while I am hanging laundry outside
rummage sales
Ghen singing in the bathroom
Diet Coke
bare feet
my father's stories
Dave filling my car with gas, without me knowing or asking
seeing a neighbor walk her dachshund past my house daily
Clay's white teeth
Terri and Lynda walking into my shop
You bring tears to my eyes, Michele! It really is good to think of the little pleasures isn't it? And your last pleasantness warms my heart,
Love you!
