The simple things

The past several months have been a bit of a challenge for me. I have decided to make a list of all those "little" things that I am going to appreciate when I am back to my norm. These are some of the things, I miss most--laughing out loud until the tears roll down my cheeks; listening to the radio and singing along at the top of my lungs as I drive down the highway; cheering (or cursing) my favorite sports teams as I watch them on TV; sitting around a loud crowd at the local bar and telling favorite stories over cold beers; and surprisingly enough, church hymns with the congregation singing along whether they can carry a tune or not. I may even come to appreciate the sound of the clock ticking away the seconds when there is no need to worry about the time of day! My list continues.....
