Smile #1. My 91 year-old father-in-law’s, after receiving this past Friday his 6th and last cycle of chemotherapy for his marginal zone non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
Smile #2. My 14 year-old daughter’s, after attending her first ever high school (home-coming) dance.
Smile #3. My 17 year-old son’s, when last night, 10 of his friends (several of whom graduated last year and are now away at college) snuck up behind him as he messed around on the computer– and wished him a belated and surprise happy birthday!

1. On Monday, we found out that after 4 out of 6 chemotherapy cycles, my father-in-law’s lymphoma is no longer detectable by CT scan.
2. Emergency surgery saved the life of my best friend from high school, removing a chronically inflamed appendix prior to its rupture.
3. My daughter’s CT scan shows shows that her symptoms of over 2 months are not due to a sinus infection so she scan stop taking antibiotics and get more aggressive in controlling her allergies.
I understand people’s frustration with the growing expense of medical care, but let’s not forget there is much good that we gain from the money we spend, especially those “little things”–like the lives of those we love.

1. An early Saturday morning walk and soul-to-soul talk with my friend
2. Sunday dinner and ICE CREAM with my husband, my children and their grandparents.
3. A quiet early Monday morning with time to read in the sun on my back deck, with the gentle clucking of my back yard ladies as background music.

With all of life’s challenges these days (personal and political), it helps to think of 3 good things:
1. Friends who love books.
2. Clean carpets (thanks to my son)
3. Daughter giggles.

1. $3 of Spring (via Safeway!)
2. Small pleasures are important
(I love the bright colors, the utility and the convenience.)
3. Memories of a younger son.
(I don’t know which I like best: the red eye sockets, the tarantula lid handle, the rainbow teeth….or the cookies you can put inside.)
