Some of my favorite things.....

• My two boys who will forever be my babies. To hear them giggle and laugh is more beautiful than any melody.

• The delicate scent of parchment, ink, and history that fills the pages of a book. Sitting among pillows cozy, quiet, uninterrupted and engrossed in that book.

• The smell of honeysuckle, lavender, and rosemary dominating the spring air.

• Cranking my favorite music, salt rimmed margarita in hand, and pondering the meaning of life in front of a orange blazing fire.

• The aroma and taste of an early morning cup of Community Coffee. Drinking that coffee from my favorite yellow Fiesta mug.

• Watching the yellow sun set in a purple sky above a vast ocean of blue waves. Digging my toes into the sand as the water crashes onto the beach.

• Laying in bed as the pitter patter of rain hits my roof and thunder slowly growls in the distance.

• Surrounded by my family with a hundred conversations going on at once. Even the crazy members, it just guarantees that things will be interesting.

• Biting into sweet, juicy watermelons and strawberries on a warm summer day. Putting some meat on the BBQ and serving it with potatoe salad, beans, and hot rolls on a warm summer night.

• Nature changing into the red, orange, and browns of fall and watching as the leaves delicatley float to the ground.

•  A butterfly fluttering about the sky, dancing among the flowers. Wings shimmering in the sun.

• Turning my experiences, thoughts, and emotions into poetry then sharing it with all who care to listen.
