Things that touch my heart

1. The soft pink light in the morning sky at dawn
2. The skitter of sanderlings as they scurry along the shoreline in Texas
3. The look of sheer contentment on Snickers' face when she's curled up asleep next to me
4. Remembering Sean telling me "TJ, there's just no one like you"
5. Ending each phone conversation with my parents by saying "I love you."
6. Having my hair brushed
7. Getting a call from Carol just to see if I'm doing o.k.
8. Singing Silent Night by candlelight at the Christmas eve service with Mom singing harmony next to me
9. The smell in the air after it rains on a hot summer day
10. Gazing at Turtle Lake at dusk when it has become as still as glass
11. Getting photos in the mail with a note from my aunt Pat just because she thought I'd like them
12. Having Sean or Sofia give me one of their beautiful artistic creations
13. Hanging out with the gang at The Dunes and seeing how vibrant and beautiful older people can be
