 "He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, 

but rejoices for those which he has."  ~Epictetus

315.  Our Yoshino Cherry tree bursting into bloom.  It's one of my favorite signs of spring.
316.  My hubby's abundance of vacation days and work holidays.  Sometimes it's difficult to use them all during the course of a year.  
317.  The taste of food cooked on the Weber charcoal grill.  It takes a little more effort than a gas grill, but the flavor is definitely worth it. 
318.  Laughter flowing as we jump on the trampoline under the moonlight. 
319.  Boys chatting beside a campfire.  I love how the firelight dances on their faces.
320.  Friends who happily watch our dog, Brick, whenever we head off on an adventure.
321.  The journey underground as we explored Mammoth Cave (more on that tomorrow).
322.  The wonder of creation. 
323.  The chirps of dozens of songbirds who make our backyard their home. 
324.  Spring thunderstorms.  I love watching the lightening flash across the night sky.
325.  The way the hubby can create wonderfully silly songs off the top of his head.  They always make me laugh.
326.  A new toothbrush. 
327.  Tender blades of new bright green grass poking their heads out of the soil. 
328.  A few days of chilly temperatures, probably the last of the season.
