Favorite Little "Things"...


I made some chocolate chip cookies for my main squeeze last night. This isn't a rare occurrence, he likes to have some cookies n milk in the evening, I just like to make them for him because 1) I like to bake and 2) I don't want him getting those icky store bought ones. (Yes, I know some are really good...but mine are better!) As I was putting the ingredients together I had to pause for a moment at my favorite part....the part when I add the vanilla to the brown sugar. Oh, the smell is just wonderful. I enjoy the whole process but I really like this step. It is sorta the moment when I have to stop and realize where I am, what I am doing and why. No matter how fast I am powering through making them, this step always stops me...if just for a moment. What little moments make you pause?

hehehe Sometimes I like to open the bottle of vanilla just to smell it -it makes me happy! I often to stop to marvel at sunlight. I love walking trough the woods in late afternoon when the sun is slanting through the trees.
