These are a few of my favorite things!

Someday, when I've passed into the other realm, having graduated past death, I hope to look back at life here on this planet fondly. And when I do, I am sure I will include these on my list of favorite things:

• Massages
• ICEEs, Slurpees, Slushies, Smoothies and/or popsicles on hot summer day
• Filet Minon wrapped in bacon cooked medium rare, with a side of herb-roasted potatoes (heavily doused in olive oil, of course)
• The feeling of pure comfort wrapped in the arms of my sweetie as he gently caresses my back or face, or plays with my hair
• Cold cereal
• Waterslides
• The first complete covering snowfall of the winter season
• The smell of my mom's fresh-baked bread and soup in the evening of a brisk autumn day
• Freshly cut grass -- both the look and the smell
• Vacuum patterns in the carpet
• Super-soft, perfectly weighted blankets
• The sound of a 2- to 4-year-old little girl's voice
• Small children's full, heartfelt giggles
• Roller coasters -- the scarier the better!
• The rush of a first kiss
• A warm, early summer sun warming the top of my hair
• Pizza
• Watching well-made movies in the theater, complete with the popcorn smell
• Holding hands
• Driving a super-nice, powerful car
• A new haircut and a good styling
• A makeover
• Packages and letters in the mail
• Floating in the warm, salty water of Hawaiian beaches
• Men smelling of good cologne -- good enough to turn your head
• Tree-ripened peaches
• The feeling of a baby moving inside my belly for the first or 100th time

I didn't have any specific reason for this post today. I was just thinking about the things that I love and I'm grateful for and thought I'd share it!
