I AM IN LOVE WITH ...

I got myself into a FOUL mood today after a conversation with a friend.  I hate being misunderstood?  Don't you?  Nothing gets me more annoyed ... more upset ... more BEYOND p.o.'ed.

But then I had to remind myself, I am who I am.  I can't change it, and those that know me well and love me don't care.

I quickly changed my mood around when I stopped to make a list of all the things I truly love in this world.  When you look at the positive, the negative no longer seems to matter quite so much. Soooooo ...

I am in love with ...

• the smell of beef stew in the crock pot
• steaming cups of hot tea
• freshly laundered linens
• colorful scarves
• cuddly cats
• great magazines
• a good book and comfy chair to hang out in
• a hot mug of apple cider
• sunny Autumn days
• a friendly smile
• fresh-baked bread
• warm apple pie
• warm, fuzzy blankets
• fall decorations
• good conversations with old friends
• the hint of rain in the air 
• chickadees calling
• golden, orange pumpkins
• fuzzy socks
• a good-smelling candle
