Going back to work Monday after a week off and having a few of the account managers who must have missed me practically gush over me because they, well, apparently missed me.

See's Candy. Just a couple of pieces of Summertime. They were out of the Key Lime Pie. Darn. Guess I'll have to go back sometime.

Having my teenage daughter ask if she could help tonight. She warned me she only had 5 minutes, but it was the thought that counts, right?

Being reminded this morning that you can make a difference in the lives of people you care about by doing simple things.

Being for the most part oblivious (well, probably for the most part in denial) that four weeks from tomorrow I'll be saying good-bye to my Luke at the airport and that two years is a really, really long time.
