I’m thankful for…

An old-fashioned heart
A sense of humor that keeps me laughing often
A love for all things cute and fluffy
The mountains
Water: lakes, rivers, oceans, you name it.
Good books
Good books about relationships
Good books about adventure
Good books about love
Good books about romance

The sky from dusk til sunrise
Fiber optic Christmas Trees

Rain, but only when I’m listening to it while falling asleep
The rest of the time, sunshine
Or snow. Snow.
