I love folding clothes when they are still warm from the dryer. I love lying on the beach with
a fabulous mystery, a cold soda and no responsibilities. I love impossibly soft, worn flannel sheets on a cold
night. I love opening a new box of crayons. I love warm brownies, fresh from the oven and
cold milk with ice cubes. I love watching snow fall. I love spending time with animals- they
ask for little and give much. I love taking pictures with my digital camera and getting
immediate gratification. I love sharing pictures. I love finding goodies in TJ Maxx and Target.
I love the cool, quietness of book stores and libraries. I love getting ideas from magazines and
friends and bringing them to life. I love seeing the first shoots of green poking their heads
through the soil and knowing that your planting was a success. I love opening presents slowly
as the day is over too quickly. I love the thought of Ireland- green, lush and full of mystery. I
love Nancy Drew and the idea that one day I may actually be able to solve a mystery. I love
red, juicy, home grown tomatoes- still warm from the sun. I love
matinee movies and (if you're lucky) having the theater all to yourself. I love the sound of the
ocean and the taste of salt on your lips at the end of the day. I love all kinds of music and the
ways they can make you feel. I love the song "Oh, Holy Night" and how it always makes me
want to cry. I love salt and vinegar potato chips- they always remind me of the beach. I love
the rush of concerts- electric! I love rainy days with no obligations. I love coming home at
the end of day and feeling content, safe and loved.
I challenge you to make your own Love List. The only catch? You can't include a single person you know on your list. No "I love the way my husband laughs" or "I love hearing my little girl call for me." It'll be tough, I know. But this particular exercise is about stripping away everyone who defines you and figuring out what you truly love. My Charmed Life inspired me!

Very cool list. It's the little things in life that matter. Are you going to join the inspiration challenge on my blog? It's a lot of fun. Hope to see you on the list! Have a great day!
I'll have to do this when I have more time. I agree with you on some of your loves. The snow, Oh holy night and quite a few others.
Lori,
I loved your love list!
