Things I Love

I never really understood why that song from The Sound of Music is a Christmas song now. You know the one..."raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles, and warm woolen mittens...yadda yadda." Nevertheless, I've been thinking about how down I've been and all the hormonal mess my body is going through right now. My poor husband. I've decided that, like everyone else in the world, since the "Holidays"--that ambiguous word that describes everything from Thanksgiving through New Year's--I should write about the things I love. At the very least, make a list. It helps to get me out of the funk I'm in. So, without further ado, here is a list of things that I love or like or am thankful for, and not in any particular order--just how the spring up in my mind:
