My dad had a similar reaction to my pregnancy announcement. I told my husband, "This is what my father will say. " We told him and he said exactly the words I said he would. "Well how 'bout that!" How did I know? This was his "I'm very excited and happy" phrase of exclamation, pride, and love. That and his smile when he said it are what I remember when I think of him. A favorite.
Second favorite is the sound the grass makes as I walk across it (soft crunch, crunch), the feel of the air on my face, the condensation of my breath, and all the sparkliness on and of a frosty morning.
Have you read the memoir The Sound of Music is based on? They reeeeeeaaaaally spiced up the story for the big screen -- the book was kind of a yawner. 😂
Things that make me feel better are getting my hands dirty in the garden, laughing with my husband and young adult kids, and watching action movies and spy dramas. ❤️
