happiness comes in small moments

I've learned that it's the small things that are important in life, as is living gratefully. Since the year is winding down, I took a look back and came up with ten moments of 2017 that made me feel grateful. Here they are:
  1. Finding my favorite treat on the copy room table at the office. Work is always better with treats!
  2. Receiving 'Daylily Dollars' to spend at the 2017 Daylily Society Sale. Daylily dollars look like Monopoly money, only with daylilies on it. Believe me, it's much more fun to buy daylilies than a plastic hotel for Park Avenue.
  3. Putting my coat on and finding $5 in the pocket that I forgot all about.
  4. Getting all psyched-up to get a cracked molar drilled for a crown and finding out, after the drilling started, that it was only a surface crack that  a 15-minute filling would remedy just fine. Can it get better than this?
  5. Finding out that my 7-year-old granddaughter got caught by her Dad asking 'Alexa' for all the answers while doing Math homework. There's nothing wrong with her problem-solving skills! Where was Alexa when I had Math homework?
  6. Hearing my 3-year-old grandson say "I help!" And smiling, knowing full-well what that really means...
  7. Playing Rummy Royal with friends and laughing so hard that we cry -- the 'duh' moments seem to be increasing.
  8. Being asked for the thousandth time if my dear friend Sandy and I are sisters. The best one happened a few weeks ago when Sandy and I were together with Susie, her actual sister. Susie was told  "No, you can't possibly be her sister -- she is!" (as the person pointed to me). This has occurred constantly over the years. May the years continue.
  9. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, TACOS, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
  10. And finally, Ange; he always keeps me smiling in a sometimes non-smiling world.

And how about your ten moments? What are you grateful for?
