Waking up while it's still dark and realizing you still have at least four hours before the alarm goes off.

Goodbye kisses and hugs in the mornings.

The morning routine taking 10 minutes less than normal.

The colors of the sunrise. (I see purple, Mom!)

Sixty-five degrees at 6:30am.

The terribly slow car in front of you turning just when you begin to get antsy about being behind it.

A co-worker bringing you a warm, gooey cinnamon roll from McDonald's for breakfast without any hidden agenda.

You're boss being out of town.

Finally being able to work on the project that you've actually been looking forward to working on.

A quiet lunch away from your desk, out in the cool sunshine on a blanket on the freshly mowed lawn with a slight breeze blowing.

One full hour of music on the radio, truly without any talking, interruptions, commercials or songs you don't like.

Looking at your favorite picture(s) and being taken away to the time and place when it was taken.

Using Paint Shop Pro to make a cute picture downright adorable.

Being able to help someone over the phone, and having them be sincerely appreciative and telling you so.

An email from a friend or relative that makes you really laugh out loud.

Sad news that makes you realize (again) how you've been blessed in your life.

4:30pm

Being greeted by "Mommy! Mommy! MOMMMMMEEEE!" at daycare.

Bracing myself for the full-speed running bear hug that comes next.

Hello kisses in the evenings.

Having a 'helper' while dinner is cooking.

Play time after dinner.

Bed time for toddlers.

Goodnight kisses before bed.

Bed time for parents.

Sleeping through the night without waking up at all.
