It's The Simple Things

I have found all of life's joys for the road I am on in my life. I was on my way to Atlanta when I thought about all the things that make me happy, and realized just how small they are. I was eating (I'm embarrassed to admit this), Long John Silvers Crunchies; I never get them so when I do, they are a real treat!

I love that clean laundry puts a smile on my face. I get excited about warm chocolate chip cookies or a trip to the bakery to get sugar cookies and cupcakes! I love pictures, as if you couldn't tell. I love hearing I love you from the boy I'm in love with. Great movies are that much greater with popcorn and coke. I love that I watch things on TV I would never watch if I were a single girl, and really, I like them. I think it's great to act like a kid when the holidays get here, who doesn't love surprises!?! I love that I can pray to God and know he hears me. Polka dots, paisleys, and stripes make me giddy, and I love a personal touch of monogramming with them! Personalized stationary also makes me smile. Reading one book after another is an accomplishment in the making and I hope to continue this pattern. When my dog talks to me, yes talks, or licks me all over I can't help but laugh! My cat gets much enjoyment out of swatting at people but yet is declawed so we get all the laughs! King George singing Amarillo By Morning makes me stop in my tracks, but play me some Apple Bottom Jeans and I can't help but bust a move! I love the smell of fall, the changing leaves, and of course wearing scarfs and carving pumpkins! The beach is a place of serenity for me and gives me peace. Alabama football as well as Tennessee are who I cheer for. Going to sleep on the couch after a long day at work or on a lazy weekend is always a highlight of my day. Hearing a good song on the radio that takes me back must be sung at the top of my lungs. Laughing is the greatest sound and they say it burns calories so I say bring on the funnies! I love watching HGTV and reading home magazines so that one day I will have all the inspiration for making a house a home. I love the thought of my future and the great things I hope it holds for me. The friendships I have are a gift and seeing them is always like opening a present! I love the wonderful inventor of Purell, you just don't know how you keep me from getting sick so I can enjoy my life! Southern food, Italian, Classic American food, and junk food are all up my ally. Lastly, a glass or two of red wine can make any rotten day better or a happy occasion that much better!

Here's to the simple things!
