The Things I Love

- When Benjamin first wakes up from a nap and looks at me warily and then breaks into a big smile

- Grandma Hatch's chicken pot pie recipe.

- Unexpected "I love you" texts from my wonderful husband

- Warm, fuzzy blankets and a good book

- Little hands that won't let go of mine

- Laughing

- Christmas everything

- Working hard to clean the house

- Sitting down after the house is all cleaned and the laundry is done

- Looking at pictures

- Talking with family and friends

- Watching Benjamin's 15 minutes of stretching that always follow a very good nap
