I would have liked to use a word other than love in the title, but for lack of a term which encompassed "relish, enjoy, appreciate, and am thankful for" love had to do. Yes, I love the Lord with all my heart, I don't know where I'd be without my friends and family, church is one of my favorite places to be, and the freedom we have in the United States is not to be forgotten. But I'm talking about the little insignificant things, the things in life that make you stop and smell the roses, you know? So, here we go;
- Dryer fluffy laundry
- holding an ice cold glass with condensation on a hot day
- rekindling an old friendship
- finding a perfect dandelion
- finding money on the ground, no matter how little
- realizing that something you were already planing to buy is on sale
- great thrift store finds
- hearing people talk in another part of the house while you are still warm in bed
- fluffy pj pants
- mismatched socks
- enjoying a thunderstorm from inside a warm, cheery house
- impromptu hang outs with friends
