I love...

You all know those days when you feel particularly bugged by the world in general!? I am talking the sock wrinkle, ran out of shampoo, could not find the car keys, missed breakfast, and hit every red light. All on your way to the one place you need be going right then. We have all had those days right? Please tell me I am not alone! On any given day any or all of those things would be fine. But then there are those days when these things threaten to put you over the edge!

Well today was not quite that day, but close! I found that I was getting irritated by little things. Like the fact that the clock was insistent on moving so slow. Or that patient in the waiting room who was yelling into the phone for 15 minutes. And to make it worse she was repeating the same thing over and over! I was bugged by red lights, the need to clean my house, the lack of motivation to clean said house. I also was bugged to see that it is pitch black at 5:30 pm, and I need to dig my coat out of where ever that place is I put it last spring!

So after deciding this is not a good way to feel I have decided to write down some of the little things that totally make my day! I think we can all be a freak in our own right. So I make no apology for these little things that brighten my world!

I love...
Crisp morning air
The smell of freshly sharpened pencils
Brand new crayons
Baby lotion
New socks
High thread count sheets
Loud (you can hear it when you move) bedding
Tulips
Daisies
The sound of my phone ringing
A clean room
An email from a friend
A letter in the mail, that is not asking for money
Cream of Wheat
The first snowfall
Laughing until my face hurts over something totally lame.
Crying, because sometimes you just need to
Chocolate
The sound of footsteps. Think heels on cement!
Ice cold water
Just out of the dryer hot towels
Babies laughing
String cheese
Sleeping with a fan on all year round
Having my face really cold and the rest of me warm and toasty while I sleep
Remembering the fun memories of our childhood as adults
Looking back through old pictures
Being with people who love me
my family
my friends

There are lots more that I could write down but i think that is a good start! I hope to remember these things more often and not let the "Other Stuff" get to me! Life is to short to spend lots of time being "Bugged." Unless you work for the CIA in which case being Bugged is really a good thing!
