Some things I love:
Books
Exploring libraries
Smugly walking in the rain or sleet with an umbrella
The whisper of leaves in the wind
The funny things kids say
The sharp taste of ginger tea
chocolate chip cookies!
knowing someone likes something I created
creative cooking
Colors! Sunsets, vegetables, flowers, yarn, paint, etc.
Dewdrops on spiderwebs
cranberry juice over ice
satisfaction of a job well done
my family
snuggling with my kids as I read to them
a creek in any season
autumn
a sweatshirt on a cool day, especially if it's warm from the dryer
hot chocolate
the right word at the right time
seeing the pattern emerge when I'm crocheting
Books
Spring
posies, even if I don't know what they are
unexpected gifts
Giving things away
Making homemade chili and baking bread on a cold day so that the windows in the kitchen fog up
Greeting my daughter with warm bread and cold butter and a big glass of chocolate milk when she gets home from school
Chocolate milk with exactly one ice cube
My DAD!
Books
When my jeans fit just right
boots! (all kinds)
good RP interaction
wildly imaginative writing
lazy summer days
anyone with a good sense of humor
my double-thick furry blanket from Mexico
watching my three-year-old son dance or run with that little skip in the middle of his strides as thought he's got intermittent rocket power
when my daughter learns something new and I can see it really 'click' in her head
books
when my husband gives me that 'It's us against the world, Baby!' grin
knowledge
the perfect moment in early morning or late at night when I feel like the only person on earth who is awake (i can hate this, too)
being right! (sometimes this actually happens)
lighting effects on snow
building stuff with my kids out of snow
puddle stomping
Giving away produce from my garden or extras of something I baked or cooked.
(perhaps to be continued...)
