Love List

I Love….

• Getting “just because” phone calls during the day from my husband.
• Looking at caller id and seeing that my best friend is calling me.
• Hearing my girls play, argue, and then work out their problems.  It makes me feel like they love one another enough to “make up”.
• Walking into church…..on time.
• An everything bagel and skinny latte from Panera.
• A warm fire in my family room.
• A good pen.
• A kitchen that is clean and smells like citrus.
• A tight hug that only my mother can give.
• My sister’s sweet voice and gentleness.
• My youngest daughter’s “from the belly” laugh.
• Cheeseburgers from Booches.
• My trips with my blogger friends. They have literally saved my sanity during the last year. I don’t know what I’d do without them.
• My toes in the sand at the beach.
• A bra that fits.
• Seeing my girls grow into their own personalities and embracing all the quirks rather than trying to change them.
• The sound of tires on gravel.
• The fact that God never gave up on me, even though there were times I was so very far from Him.
• The feeling of working hard and finishing something I never thought I could do.
• Dancing to 80’s music. “Brick House” will get me on the dance floor every.single.time.
• Baking yummy desserts.
• Seeing my oldest daughter’s drawings. She absolutely blows me away with her artistic ability.
• The smell of my husband when he first gets out of the shower.
• Massages, facials, and pedicures. These have to be in heaven. I’m convinced.
• Crescent rolls baked with string cheese in the middle.
• An uninterrupted bath.
• Doing something genuinely unselfish for someone without any expectations.
• A clean car.

I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving!
