1. 6 continuous hours of solid sleep last night. SIX HOURS. I woke up just because I am not used to sleeping that much in one go anymore. But I woke up rested. Anyway, a very nice gift from the baby.
2. Quince season. I love quinces, bright yellow, sweet, crunchy, amazingly smelling of autumn. Yum.
3. Warm autumn days. Sunny, crispy days are great. Walking during such a day even greater. Pushing the pram with the sleeping baby inside on such a day - the greatest.
4. The feeling that everything is finally right with the world. Nice weather, happy family, wonderful roly-poly baby, nothing to worry about in the future. I daydreamt about this all my life and now I am living the dream.
5. Light-hearted, optimistic books that are easy to read. They go terrific with the 'everything is right with the world' feeling.

Day of Grace 1.11.2010
This ain't my idea. I saw it somewhere. I like it, so I will use it.
The idea is that you find 5 things to be grateful for in a day.
Here are mine for today.
1. My son slept last night for a stretch of time longer than one hour. He had some rough nights last week, and we along him. And it is slowly getting better, I hope. I hear about babies sleeping 5, 6 hours, some even 8, or 10 hours. I was so sure we were heading that way soon, since he slept in 4 hours stretches since we came home. After last week, I threw my certainties out the window. So, almost 3 consecutive hours of sleep? So grateful, baby!
2. Burnt wood smell that makes a crispy November day feel like winter. I love this kind of days.
3. Christmas is getting near. First Christmas with baby! YAY!
4. Books that you can't put down. And which make your mind think new thoughts. I like that.
5. Grilled cheese sarnie. Yummy!
