Little Luxuries

Somehow my days are filled to the brim with things I 'have' to get done-- which leaves little, if any, time for myself.
But I was thinking tonight about some of the little luxuries that brighten my day.

Here's a few that I just love:

Lotion- My own delicious smelling lotion. A big 'aaaaah' always escapes the moment I sit down and rub it into my hands.

My hubby's hugs- Jeff comes home and immediately gives me a hug. But his hugs are not just any hugs...they come complete with a mini backrub. I sink into him and feel the pressures of the day slowly fade. I love those hugs.

Snuggles and slobbery kisses - my boys know exactly when I need an extra bit of love. Tave gives the sweetest slobbery kisses and West loves to run into my arms and give me a great big squeeze.

Reading a book - this has been extremely rare lately, but whenever I get a second to read a few pages (which usually turns into chapters) I am in heaven. I love the escape that a good book provides.

Singing time - my little guys love to sing with me. They laugh and dance to the music and we have the best time!

Phone calls - no matter the time, it is always so wonderful to get a 'hi, how are you' phone call. Often they are short, due to little kiddies, but they always make my day!!

Bedtime - This isn't really a little luxury, it's a big one. I LOVE crawling into bed at night. The pillow just swallows me up and I drift off to dream land with the love of my life beside me.

Life just can't get any better.
