F is for Favorites

These are a few of my favorite things:

• a warm blanket on cold toes
• sun shining through leaves
• the first ticklings of a new idea
• singing really loudly in the car with my favorite people
• a brand new bar of soap
• felt tipped pens
• the first bite of a warm cookie
• the sound of birds through an open window
• crystal blue skies
• new leaves
• the shuffle of my kids feet past my door in the morning
• my puppy's grin as he runs
• warm grass and puffy white clouds
• a page filled with cursive
• giant maple trees
• a new tube of paint
• freshly vacuumed carpet
• sidewalk cafes
• a hot bath after a good meal
• Italian cream sodas
• waking up after a deep sleep
• driving past lit houses at night
• patios decked with twinkling white lights
• a window streaked with rain
• the sound of geese flying overhead
• crushed ice
• a tight hug from my kids
• listening to my girls singing in the shower
• the tidy look of a pastry case
• the remnant of paint on old brick walls

The world is full of my favorite things. I could never list them all.
