Love

I was inspired today by one of my favorite bloggers to reflect on the things in my life that I love.  Some obvious ones are the people I love, some are experiential, and others, doggone it, are materialistic and I'm NOT going to apologize for that.  Some things just make me happy by looking at them.  The aesthetic.  So, as the old song goes, "These are a few of my favorite things..."  I'm interested to hear your love list, too.
