Now I think it's better to remember only the good moments and write them down every day. Thus, I can say that I love good things and I can see them every day. <br />All the best to you, dear!Nadezdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159291982383302922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294026230680025155.post-24596113548572364172022-01-17T17:36:55.337+00:002022-01-17T17:36:55.337+00:00I love tour list and do suggest the journaling.

Cut glass certainly belongs on the list, too. As a child, I'd sit for hours watching sunlight play on my mother's pieces, throwing rainbows all around the room.

I laughed when you said 'clean sheets' as DH and I always say, 'aah.. so nice to have clean sheets' when we change them each Friday.
