110. Snow clouds blowing across the freeway
111. Birds darting through shrubs next to the train station on a 5ยบ day
112. 11:30 a.m.: The witching hour when the kids are starving - and how lunch at A's saves the day
113. 2:30 p.m.: Storytime when J and I are cuddled up with a book
114. 6:30 p.m.: After dinner when J carries her dishes to the sink - It's so nice that she's old enough to do that and volunteered
115. Pieces of mirror, broken in my tray, about to become something new and beautiful
116. Pink sunglasses with one arm broken off - fixed with patience
117. Broken-in jeans bought for a steal at Saver's Thrift store
118. Fried apple slices, homemade gluten-free onion rings and J's stuffed peppers on Valentine's Day - an unexpectedly delicious celebration
119. Joy in this list at 5 a.m. when I can't sleep

120. That little red box of chocolates my dad buys me every Valentine's Day - a Valentine's tradition of fatherly love
121. Laughter at the Team Yarn meeting, ricocheting around the table of women and children gathered to support a great cause
122. The Girl's laughter because of a blue balloon
123. The Boy's laughter as he sits on a red balloon - and my amazement that it doesn't pop as he bounces up and down
124. The joy I get from planning my mosaic project in the bathroom
125. Finally putting felt paper, metal mesh and mortar to the wall -- I have begun
126. Clicking through a board of beautiful, inspiring mosaic ideas on Pinterest
