You Are the Very Best

In honor of the upcoming holiday on which we celebrate all those we love, I have come up with a list. I thought for a solid two minutes about the things that I love the very most in my life, and although my ADD-prone mind got sidetracked once when I glanced up at the counter and saw an open bag of Trader Joe's Powerberries calling to me (no, forcefully commanding) that I get up and eat some, I realized for the umpteenth time that I have an almost mind-boggling amount to be grateful for. I'm lucky to have lots to love. Read on for my love list if you feel so inclined (and I won't be offended if you decide not to read because truthfully I won't even know. So we're good.):

- Let's be honest, those aforementioned Powerberries are usually at the top of my list.

- Gertie & Gus

- 72 degree weather

- My Mom's laugh

- Campfires

- Slight breezes

- the smell of saddles

- When my jeans finally get broken in

- Feeling inspired and motivated

- Jogging on the beach path

- Listening to my Dad sing

- the color camel

- Oil paintings

- Beach Hair

- being home with the entire family

- crossing off every item on a to-do list

- Nose freckles

- Freshly-cut Peonies

- Yellow Labs & Golden Retrievers (either to be named Copernicus)

- Saying exactly what you meant to say

- Laughing with those who know you best

- The click of computer keys

- A good card game

- Smile wrinkles as evidence of a life lived happily

- Books you wish never ended

- Hawaiian Tropic Sunblock

- Sisters

- Fresh Papaya with Lime Juice

- Settebello's Caprese Salad

- the new 8mm camera app

- Writing letters

- Brick courtyards

- A good stretch

- Feeling the Spirit

- Sitting Close

- Going on Trips

You'd be surprised how much your brain comes up with when you let it wander around in thoughts of the very best things in life.

Besos,
