A few of my Favorite Things

You know that song, right?  Raindrops on roses and wiskers on kittens?  Well I LOVE things...not for their dollar value but for their intrinsic value.  I have been just dying to work that word into a Blog (intrinsic)!  Anyway, allow me to elaborate...or more accurately, indulge me while I take the liberty of elaborating.  As I sit here sipping my afternoon java, I am making a mental list of the things I am happy that I have in my life.  I guess you could say I feel quite grateful.  And this type of gratitude ought to be multiplied.  So here are some things I am grateful for:

ok, enough links...there is more.  I Love LOVE...and I adore my children.  I love my work with other people's children.  I love Chocolate and Bread and French Fries and Vegetables all crisp from the garden.  I love fresh herbs-especially the smell of them wafting through the springtime air.  I love Farms and Grass.  I love horses in a field.  I love Cows all huddled together chewing and mooing.  Sadly I also Love hamburgers and steak. I Love coffee.   But I digress...I love sweaters and blankets- especially knitted ones and patchwork ones.  I love old wooden chests and desks and cabinetry.  I love wood floors- and I mean the old ones, not the polished and perfect hardwoods but the ones that give you splinters.  I even love the splinters.  I love TREES...for climbing and sitting under and just to see them standing there in all their glory.  These are a few of my favorite things.

I also love technology and computers and phones and cars with sync!  I love gadgets and curious bits of wisdom handed down from generation to generation.  I love the old things you cannot find anymore..and I especially love finding them!  How lucky I feel when I discover any object from yesteryear or better yet, from my own childhood!  I love memories...I love that I CAN remember...what a gift!  I love that all the things I have done in my lifetime can always be a part of who I am.  I love my resume and my years in college and every sucky job I ever had because it made me better at whatever I do now!  I love every person who has ever tried to lower my perception of myself...you are my daily laughter now...and I pray for you.  I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Anthony Kedis.  I Love Chester See, Adrian R;Mante, Giovanni Samuels and Sandra Winebarger.  I love photography!  What an art form!  I love colors but I also love Black and White.  I Love MUSIC!  I love the Opera and the Ballet.  I love Golf!

What makes me feel thrilled?  Synchronicity gives me a thrill!  when everything just falls into place the way you have seen it in your mind's eye.  I love a dream fullfilled and a dream still being built.  I love houses...especially big old farm houses with unusual traffic flow....I Love homes.  I love other people's homes, with their unique stuff.  I Love their lives, their families and the way they line up their boots near the door.  I Love umbrellas and ballet shoes.  I Love French Horns.  I love the sound of my daughter's voice and the smell of my son's hair after a bath.  I love their tears, their giggles and their smiles.  I Love my Sweety.  I Love mail.  I love stamps and letters and stationary.  I love to spritz my stationary with lavender or other fragrances.  I love the color green.  I feel a thrill when I remember the past and a thrill when I look to the future.  I embrace all...for all is love.

I Love Walt Disney World!  i love vacations- especially road trips.  I Love to learn about american History.  I Love a good movie and I REALLY LOVE a Good Book!  I love that one day I will write a really good book and other people will love me.  I Love that people already do love me.  As I stated at first...I Love LOVE.  ~Namaste~
