It's the little things in life...

That moment when you're standing at the top of a slope when you take a look around, inhale, and say "Go!"

Skiing or walking in the woods alone, and stopping to listen to the snow falling.

The light that bathes everything just before the sun actually sets. Photographers call it "the golden hour." It always takes my breath away.

When I ask my wife if she wants to go hiking, and she says YES

! The vibrant green color of the trees and grass on rainy days in the spring. When my dog gets in the car after a hike without having to chase him down in the parking lot. The smell of evergreens in a light breeze. Last but certainly not least, the way my five year old son says "Daddy I love you"

!

Dont let it bum you out... Just ignore the thread..
I'm enjoying the politcal banter... mainly cause I don't have to post much...

You know what little thing makes me happy?
My cat Kittles... she caught a mouse the other day.. I'm a proud pappa!

The fact that I now have a job doing what I love. 8 Hours go by in one, I tell ya. It's amazing.

I call it Alpine glow and it takes my breath away too.

Diving in a cold river after a long, hot hike.

Watching my 15 year old daughter smile.

Moonlight waking me up at night because it's shining on my face through the bedroom window.

The mountains, the ocean, the warm sun...my friends.

Hugs...everyone should have lots of hugs.

Holding an actual conversation with my two year old daughter...

Getting flowers for no reason.
My cat proudly bringing me a prize (mouse).
Waking up to a fresh snow.
Waking up to sunshine.
A student accidently calling me mom.
Finding money in pockets of clothes.
Family gatherings.
Positive feedback.
Pleasing others.
Music, pride in my neice's musical accomplishments.
Accomplishing a goal.

Monday holidays
Neighbors who mow your lawn for you "just cause"
Handing your neighbor some freshly baked banana bread in return
Hanging with your father and brother over a coupla beers
Jumping in a lake ona hot day... and it's only 10am!
Carrying your little one from the van to his bed, giving him a peck, and getting a dreamy smile in return... all the while he's still asleep.

- Waking up and seeing snow falling outside your window and realizing that you are at the ski resort and will be able to ski it.
- Resting after a hike up the mountain to regain some strength to ski that run down that ribbon of snow.
- Seeing my children sleeping or playing together without fighting.
- Watching things that I have planted grow and bear fruit.
- Watching the trail of water left behind by the boat as it travels fast on the water.
- Seeing a beautiful butterfly flying from flower to flower.

Isn't that the greatest?

Starting a Saturday morning with a nice trail run with "man's best friend."
On the way home you realize you've gone for a hike 4 weekends in a row.
Spending an afternoon hanging bird feeders with da-da's little helper.
Watching said helper follow me around like I have him on a leash.
Teaching him how to "drive" my truck in the driveway.
Giving the dog a bath and she doesn't turn it into the main event for the WWE.

Flying by people who are timidly peering over the edge

Snowshoeing under the full moon

Thunderstorms

A good book on a rainy day

My dog...because he is always so happy to see me!

Having Gov't Mule play in my town!

This is a nice one...

Noticing that honey bees and bumble bees are alive and well in my yard sucking up and pollinating our wildflowers. There's quite a scare going on in the bee world.

Amazing how that happens!

*having a pseudo conversation with the boy (he mostly points and grunts, but when he squeals with laughter, it's just great)

*the most adorable insights that come out of my 3 year old's mouth... is she 3 or 13?

*beautiful days like yesterday

*a butterfly landing on your hand and staying for just a few moments... beautiful!

*holding hands with the one you love

It's the little things in life...
