Enjoying simple pleasures today. The joy of a 2 1/2 month old sleeping through the night. The joy of a new purse, appropriately organized so that I can now easily find that ringing telephone. The joy of a longish-running test case that both helps me track down a memory problem, and lets me write a blog entry. The joy of a 50 degree day at the end of December. The joy of brilliant blue skies. The joy of an easy commute, compliments of all of the other folks who stayed home this week. The joy of anticipation, looking forward to a chance to go out on the town tomorrow night with my husband. The joy of accomplishment: the deliverables are out the door, and we don’t have any more staring us in the face near term. (Not that there’s not a lot of work to do – it just isn’t technically due for a while yet.) The joy of hugging my daughter, and helping her tuck herself into bed next to her daddy (rather than her usual thump on him, “get up!” approach to rousing dad).

Gotta have a day like this once in a while… Here’s hoping that hubby’s having just as good a day, and that maybe you are, too.
