I Love...

So, for the Blog Challenge I'm supposed to post about something/someone I love. Well, being the busy person I am... I recycled this post from last year with a few minor updates... Here are my loves... (Mostly, I LOVE my family!)

I LOVE LIFE. There may be regrets, but I choose to enjoy life. I choose to be happy. I choose to move forward and to keep dreaming... I LOVE my children, my family and my friends... I LOVE photos and the stories they tell... I LOVE being active and having my health... I LOVE TO WRITE AND CREATE... I LOVE to be inspired and to inspire... I LOVE to read a good book while curled up in any comfy chair I can find. I LOVE a cool breeze after the storm and I LOVE the smell of rain and watching thunderstorms... I Love flowers in the spring... I Love snow in the winter while enjoying a nice hot mocha... I Love the hot sun in summer and sand between my toes... I Love watching the ocean... I Love nature and enjoying a sunset/sunrise in all God's glory. I Love lemonade and peach ice tea, diet coke and rum, or any fruity frozen drink... I Love the romantic little moments in life... I even Love a Good Cry after a nice sad, sappy love story... I Love watching the love that glimmers from a person's eyes when they look at the love of their life... I LOVE the bear hugs I get from my children. I Love a good lazy weekend vegging and watching tv... I LOVE TO LAUGH, I Love to watch people laugh, make people laugh, listen to laughter (this is after all the BEST sound in the whole world)... I Love to make people smile... I Love a long conversation with an old friend... I Love a short conversation with a new friend... I Love being near my family... I Love that the internet makes it easy to be close to my family that is not "near" in location. I Love taking short little cat naps curled up with one of my kids... I LOVE listening to music and I Love singing at the top of my lungs when no one is around to listen... I Love travelling and seeing new things and new places, and I Love introducing my kids to the same... I LOVE enjoying nature... I Love taking drives to nowhere in particular in no particular hurry... I LOVE comforting a crying child... I Love being comforted... I Love dancing... I Love girls night out... I Love to play the piano (even though its been awhile)...I Love that "top of the world" feeling you get on a really good day... I Love being able to wonder if I can stop at only 50 things that I love about life... I LOVE listenting to my 90 year old grandmother tell her stories from the early 1900's... I Love listening to my children tell stories about now... I Love listening to my husband tell the great high shool sport stories that I've heard many, many times... I Love listening to my dad tell the same stories to my kids that he used to tell me.. I Love looking back at my life and knowing the mistakes and learning from them - even though it hurts sometimes...I Love a slow dance... I Love to dream about the future and how my life may change...or stay the same... I LOVE the early morning quiet in the house with a cup of coffee... I Love my job (yes I really do...)and, I LOVE watching that 80 yr old couple dance the night away amidst all the "young" people and wonder if I'll be that young at heart... I can only hope to have that love for life that that couple has...What are the 50 Loves of your life?
