I love….
My “finger” toes, mint choc-chip Byeres ice-cream, my son, zinnias, my husband, the colors in my living room, my mother’s love, my childhood friends, my elementary school PE coach, the amazing women-who I humbly call friends-in my life, the smell of rain, Bubblicious bubble gum, pregnant bellies-mine, or anyone else’s, God’s grace, Pretty in Pink, authentic people, seeing the commonalities in one another, a nerdy joke, a picket fence, convertibles, our Moby dog, the smell of burned gasoline when sitting at the back of the boat, changing leaves, hayrides, hearing my Aunt & my Mom laugh together, reminiscing, the smell of Dreft, my brothers and their families, the amazing hues of the Desert landscape, the joyful feeling of bringing my son into the world, caller I.D., Philanthropists, cheerleaders, dancing- watching/ participating in, seeing humility, people who believe they can make a better place in this world, recognizing that all people want to be loved, Oprah-at least what she represents on her show, email-I can always feel connected to those I love, those shirts that say, “I’m the Big Brother/Sister,” true love, swinging in a hammock under a shady tree (free of bugs/snakes, of course), seeing a wild sunflower goring up through a crack of cement along the highway, long drives, surrounded by nothingness, photography that moves me, swings, the idea of Hybrid vehicles, the concept that I am here for a reason, the way my child’s hair smells after using the baby wash, beer breath on my husband, I love that not matter how long this list is, that there is so much more that I love!
