What I Will Miss

Nora Ephron died yesterday.  She was a frank, funny, intelligent talent - not afraid to speak what we think but don't say.  She wrote a column entitled "What I Will Miss".  That caused me to pause and think about what I will miss.  Why?  Because I think it is, at times, important to pause and reflect.  We get so busy in the day to day stuff that we don't take the time to be present in the moment and enjoy what is at hand - until it's gone - just a memory or photo.

So....what I will miss, more importantly, what I want to remind myself to enjoy.

My wonderful husband
Zoe cat walking all over me in the morning
A beautiful sunrise
The ocean and walking forever on the beach
Almost daily conversations with my sister
A great meal outdoors with wonderful friends
A great glass (or 2) of Pinot
A beautiful, colorful new dress
Music
A book that you cannot put down
Driving a golf ball out into the air that just goes forever
Making a 20 yard putt
Doug's tuna sandwiches at the 6th hole
Farmers markets
Getting on the scale with one eye closed and seeing a good number
Fresh flowers
Cooking a great, inventive meal
Traveling to new places, and back to a few favorites
A movie that moves you to tears
A great pair of shoes
And many more I can't think of right now

At the end of the day, the simple joys are the most important.
