My kids. Not much else though.

Gotta love the kids, I made this post after getting my youngest to bed and having my heart feel so full of love

Thank you for this thread. I'm a little misty-eyed and feeling so wonderfully blessed. Pumpkin Tikka masala and coffee for breakfast (I know, right?!), mixed greens, tomatoes, blueberries, strawberries, mozzarella with good balsamic vinegar for lunch, for the time in months, I made a half-gallon of iced tea, sweetened with local raw honey, fur baby sleeping next to me as I enjoy the sound of the storm, outside. So many have no meal, no roof, no companion. It's nice reading the simple pleasures here. No one mentioned their private jet, Bugatti, haute coture. It's nice when we recognize the real riches life grants us.
