Best things

Just finished reading Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones - highly recommend it. I won't ruin it for anyone who hasn't read it, but I will say that it prompted me to ask what kinds of things I love and might have forgotten about or be taking for granted. I'm talking about little things like the feel of the pages of a book and the joy of discovering new worlds in those pages. And of course, people who share great books (Thanks, Mom! I needed to be reminded of the joy of reading something other than the news and the reports and memos I read at work!).

Now these aren't daffodils, but these flowers make my day every time I see them. Some of you know why. People who have left us really do come calling, really do watch us. That little kernel of knowledge is one of the best things in life.
