perfect ways to start the day

Off the top of my head

there are four perfect ways to greet the day.

Of course,

this has changed over the years....

~

The first

would be snuggling with my hubby

but, that doesn't happen nearly often enough.

~

Not necessarily second in preference,

a steaming (pretty) cup of perfectly doctored

decaf french vanilla coffee, lovingly prepared and delivered

starts the day off pretty nicely, too.

~

Still being in bed

and getting to see that first sleepy smile

when Lily wakes up and sees that I am there.

Oh so sweet!!!

~

And now the newest -

hearing the pitter patter of Lily's bare little feet

(somewhat unsteady

as they support her weight for the first time in hours)

just before seeing her huge smile, wide eyes, and outstretched arms

as she runs to me

after getting out of bed all by herself.

mmmm

God sure knew what He was doing,

starting people off as babies!!
