Patience - Could folks be any less forgiving and patient?

Dignity - It's not necessary to dig through the barrel bottom to make a quick buck or to prove a point.

Cheap good wine. A cup to steady the nerves while a healthy splash makes the sauce.

Homemade foods.

Great novel to read
Day off (that is really a day "off")
Uniterrupted sleep
Public libraries
My husband... when he's not doing things around our house he's working on his mother's so she doesn't have to hire someone. Very little if any gratitude on the part of his family- and no one offers to help. I appreciate him, but I wish others would!

Underrated (in my opinion):

Thank you notes. They aren't fashionable anymore, some would argue they are unnecessary, but I'll tell you, I so appreciate the time someone takes to thank me when I've done something for them. My parents drove for nearly four hours to see us this weekend, you bet I'll send them a note.

The local video store. I could not do without it. Until they close, Netflix will not get my business. I love walking in (it's actually a museum too) and finding something new.

A simpler life. This is probably the core of my life at this point in time.

Other loves (material goods): coffee, tea, good novels, my Perry Mason dvd sets, old-school jazz on a rainy day, my Keen shoes, good raincoat, comfy houseslippers, seaweed snacks and rice crackers.

My son's preschool teachers and their program: he is thriving and I couldn't be happier.

I love the woman who cuts my hair, even if she 'tsk tsks' me for not seeing her as often as I should.

And hugs from my guy and my kiddo.
