  1. Cold medication and pain relievers, a special thanks to you today.  And, I only got told twice that I looked really pale, and was I okay?  Haha...
  2. The amazing Mexican rescue dog, Pinta.  No matter how exciting the beach is, she still manages to blow me away with her obedience.  That dog will come, as soon as she sees the signal, no matter how far away she is and no matter how many interesting things are along the way.  The way she bolts at top speed towards me and then sits dramatically makes me fill with pride.  Ella es una buena perra!
  3. The way Jessica swears and Karen laughs...and the group doggie walk we had at Willows Beach.
  4. Poke it with a stick.
  5. My chauffeur who picked me up with café latte in hand.
  6. The incredible dark cherry flavour that my favourite garnacha produces when savoured from that huge glass.

  5. Boys' arms.

  7. And especially....appreciating the little things in life. Just now getting out of the shower, I searched around for MY towel and realised that I had left it in the living room (of course). Since living in Ireland, I have used my own over-sized bath "sheets"...not normal bath towels. Today, I took a chance and toweled off with a bath towel, and then I wrapped it around my body...and it fit. A lot of people out there won't be able to identify with this, but just being able to use the same towels as other people? Well, that's pretty amazing for me.
