Friday Felicities

• Freshly cut flowers and greenery from the spirea shrubs
• A full week where my beloved came home at the end of each work day
• Homemade "starbucks:" coffee with a bit of dark chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and cinnamon in addition to the usual milk and sugar 
• Listening to the birds on the balcony (and the sound of them rustling in the chimney, which never gets used here in the warm South- At least it's good for something)
• Seeing the treetops from the balcony
• Discovering what new wildflower will bloom this week in my little balcony mystery pot
• Two healthy, fun-loving kids
• Panda Express for supper last night, on a day where I really needed to eat somewhere other than at home
• The cheerful red wall in my living room
• Dental coverage on our insurance
• My husband taking the day off so I don't have to drag little man to the dentist's office along with big sis, who is going for the first time and a little bit nervous
• An uninterrupted shower with plenty of time for shaving my legs
• Silence beyond the clicking of the keyboard
• Romans 8:1

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend!
