Damian (6-months-old) with Auntie Lily (90-years-old)
(Auntie Lily is Lily and Damian’s great-great-aunt,
and Lily is her namesake.)
18 July 2007

The sun is up, and I’m in a much better mood. So I decided to add a post that is a bit more upbeat.

Random happy things:

• Lily’s curls.

• Damian will sing in tiny, soft baby coos as you dance with him.

• Matt is conscientious, kind, generous, responsible, reliable, honorable, honest, hard-working… basically the perfect father and husband, and the children and I were lucky enough to be the ones given him.

• Lily and Damian make us laugh… a lot.

• My mom, Deb, and Lindsey are coming for a visit, and I’m really looking forward to it.

• People send me greeting cards in the mail, sometimes with money. 🙂

• Matt really enjoys his work.

• I really enjoy Matt’s family.

• I really enjoy my family…

• … and my friends although I am not very good at keeping in touch with them. Their presence in this world makes it a better place.

• Ultimately, most people believe in good although they sometimes make bad decisions.

• The world is full of creative people.

• The sky is blue and the grass is green.

• …and I think to myself, “What a wonderful world.”

Hmmm… a much better way to start the day.
