Moments

You know those moments you have? The ones that make you feel all warm and fuzzy? The just plain good ones? The moments that you don't want to be anywhere else but where you are? Here's a couple of my favourites from the last week or two.

1. Huge enveloping bear hugs from 'summer family' members I haven't seen since last fire season.

2. Sitting in the dusk listening to a sublime mixture of crickets, splashing water and vintage blues music. Made me feel like I was....somewhere. Not sure where but it was comforting and exotic all at the same time.

3. Eating tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches with my little boy on a rainy evening. Very cozy.

4. Sitting in a hamock in dappled sunshine that is all gold and green as it filtres through the tree leaves, listening to helicopters "whop whop whop whop" in the back ground with my eyes closed. Drowsing....

5. And the best of all: Hearing my 22 month old son say "I wub oo mommy" (translation: I love you mommy) for the first time.
