A meme courtesy of my uncle
I was reading my uncle's blog this morning, and he was talking about things that move him. He's deeply introspective in a charming way, and I was moved by what he wrote. A-ha! I thought...what a wonderful post for today!
So, please meme about what moves you, and link back here. What gets you in your emotional hot spot? What makes you feel?
- Snuggling with my children as they sleep. The sounds of their slow breathing, the scent of their clean hair. The way they still arrange themselves in the crook of my arm, even though they're sound asleep. Like instinct.
- Watching my hubby walk in the door after a long day at work. Knowing and appreciating how hard he works for us. Seeing how handsome he is with his briefcase and his work uniform (typically a pair of Dockers and a golf shirt). The pride of his success. I am so proud of him.
- My husband. He moves me in all ways. Physically, of course, but intellectually, as well. He challenges my memory. Stretches my sense of humor. Encourages me.
- Coffee with friends. Often intimate and deep. There is just something about the smell of caffeinated goodness that relaxes me, reminding me of settled moments sipping java on some funky couch in some funky java joint.
- Wine with friends. Invigorating, stimulating, full of laughter. Trying new things. Titillating the senses. Headiness.
- Certain music. Beatles, blues, jazz, "our" song, Carly Simon.
- The scent and the feel of a baby.
- One on one "dates" with my kiddoes, where they pour their precious souls out to me. Laughing, crying, enjoying, communicating. Those kids rock my world.
- Communing with God. Talking to Jesus. Reading my Bible with newfound abandon.
I'm doing this meme today

Thanks, darlin! I think I'm going to do it as "Move Me Monday." What do you think?
