love for life....

So much is wrong with the world right now. Money, wars, gas, food and the environment blah blagh blagh. Today I am not going to post about any of those things but instead 100 things that I love. This is my list and no one Else's list. Make your own and enjoy it. I can guess that many of these will be food items as I love to cook and be cooked for. Some will be repeated as I go along, again this is an informal list. I think I love some things that you may also , that is because some loves are universal......

In no particular order ......

Hugs from my sons as I leave the house to go to work.
The 100% trust I get from my dogs as the walk up to me to say hello or a scratch behind the ears.
The softness of a womans kiss.
Fresh cut fries.
The burning sensation of real Coca Cola on the first sip.
Sleeping with the windows open and feeling the night air.
the quiet of the very early morning or late night.
a smoke as I'm in the washroom.
A fresh shave (non rushed) with lather
Coffee ; double cream double sugar
The 10 minutes after I mow the lawn. its a sense of pride of something looking good.
hand washing the car.
fixing something the kids broke. To see how happy they are after I fix it.
A cold beer in the evening.
putting on warm underwear out of the dryer.
a slow snowfall at night - the kind with big fluffy snowflakes
