very necessary

i love. . .
pay day
shopping
cheescake
laughing my azz off
new york city
to be loved
bubble baths
family & friends
tulips in the spring
the sound music
puppies and bunnies and all things innocent

i find it in . . .

a comfy bed on a rainy day
free time all to myself
a baby sleeping
incense burning
a great pedicure
not having to pay . . .
understanding i’m not perfect and accepting it
having all the bills paid with money left over to spend

i’m filled with happiness when . . .
making you happy
watching my son grow into a strong and intelligent young man
being thought of in a special way
spending summer days at the beach
traveling when i can
fading a bottle of baileys irish cream
looking better in my dress than you do
finding money in a unforgotten pocket, just when i need it most.

love, peace and happiness is often right under our noses. embrace it.
