I have a purple pen. I feel the need to tell you this. It is a simple bic pen with a lid, but I have fallen in love with it. It writes in purple too. It says "April is Month Of The Young Child". Yep. Now that I write it, it sounds like some kind of Native American phrase...like, "Michigan is land of many snow" or something like that. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you about my pen. I am glad that small things can still make me happy. So here's to the small things........

Bubbles. I used to spend hours doing the dishes...making more and more bubbles...shaping them into things, blowing them around the kitchen.

A nicely made-up bed.

Kermit the frog singing "Wild Thing".

Winnie-the-Pooh.

Small children in plays and programs.

The home video of my little sister's first birthday.

Giving the perfect gift to someone.

Knowing that my long candle-lighter is always in the same place.

Planning things.

Forsythia. The name and the flower.

and purple pens that write in the perfect shade of purple.



Share what little things make you happy....maybe I want to add some to my list. :)
