109) Good times with little Sis.
110) New babies (1 doula baby this past week and two nieces had babies this week too)!

113) hot tea
114) little girls giggling
115) hugs from half grown son
116) water with fresh lime juice

Every time you feel in God's creatures something pleasing and attractive, do not let your attention be arrested by them alone, but, passing them by, transfer your thought to God and say: "O my God, if Thy creations are so full of beauty, delight and joy, how infinitely more full of beauty, delight and joy art Thou Thyself, Creator of all!

You can’t get to joy by making everything perfect. You can only get there by seeing in every imperfection all that’s joy.
