I love

In the wake of a miserable mood swing (and while I wait for Molly to wake up so we can go to Faith's), I thought I'd write a list of all the things I love, no matter how cliche or predictable.
I love my mugs. Every Valentine's Day Bob buys me an over sized mug. They're the only ones I use. And I love them.
I love hearing my kids laugh. The best is when they're making each other laugh. But I like making them laugh too. Sometimes they laugh at the simplest things. It always makes me feel better.
I love talking to people. I'm not always the best conversationalist and can tend to be self centered and boring, but my relationships with people mean a lot to me.
I love being a hostess and having people over to the house to hang out. Partially because I love being entertained and partially because I love to make other people happy, at least for a little while. Whether it's with food or entertainment - it makes me happy to see other people enjoy something I've done.
I love the idea of living simply. Having a garden, hanging wash out to dry. Not having excess stuff laying around. Minimal technology.
That being said, I love facebook. :)
I love writing as a way to purge my soul.
I love reading as a way to escape my life.
I love accounting because numbers don't change.
I love being comfortable in my environment. Lived in, full of hand-me-downs, so it's personal, yet neat and clean and organized.
I love the smell of spf and the ocean. I love them smell of rain and warm wet earth.
I love a good thunderstorm.
I love getting a good picture of my kids.
I love the possibility that my life will get better, easier, closer to my ideal.
I love feeling things deeply.
I love my labeled boxes of art supplies.
I love the 'moments' in my house where the decor finally came together in a picturesque way.
I love sunshine.
I love the Blues. I love the sultry way that genre of music embraces me.
I love the way Liam is a boy, the way he makes car noises, the way he loves technology, the way he plays with 'boy toys'.
I love buying new clothes.
I love movies (or TV shows) that make me feel something.
I love the process of falling asleep when I'm really tired.
I love my weekends away from the kids with Bob.
I love my family, even though they stress me out.
I love looking out my windows and seeing horses running by.
I love looking out my windows and seeing groundhogs running by.
I love watching trees moving in the wind.
I love staring out at the ocean and feeling completely engulfed in it.
I love dew.
I love the way the air feels at sunrise, wet, cool, fresh.
I love the way the air feels on a summer night, warm and damp and heavy.
I love my washing machine and dryer.
I love the smell of clothes drying.
I love playing games and feeling smart while I do it. I don't even mind losing most of the time.
I love winning.
I love the light in the living room in the morning when the sun shines through the curtains.
I love my daydreams.
I love rocking my babies to sleep. I love the feel of their bodies, warm and relaxed in my arms. I love the way their eyelashes look so long on their cheeks. I love their little kissable mouths.
I love Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.
