"walking" up a beautiful multi-colored autumn canyon trail and twinkling my toes in a stream after hiking for hours...
hearing my mother sing (just a little off key) sitting next to me in church...
holding one of my kids on my lap and telling that same story that I thought I just could not tell one more time, without going crazy...
running my fingers over the veins that stood out on the back of daddy's hands...
sitting around a campfire and thinking that if I reached up I could actually touch the heavens...
brushing the hair away from a feverish brow and praying for relief for my sweet child.
making "crowns" out of the dandelions that plagued many a lawn from the time I was old enough to braid...
watching that "just finished nursing" face of a baby... right before you know you better get them in their bed or they will wake up and your nap won't happen...
sitting in a hot bubble bath while reading a book I waited for weeks to come out....
feeling the wind race over my face as I sit on the porch just before a big storm hits...
listening to the excited voices of a dozen teenagers while playing a noisy game of "speed"...
and oddly enough, I even miss... figuring out where the "one" error is on a 350 page spreadsheet full of macros and corporate data that 10 other people did not find...
