A New Love List

I was so thrilled to receive this love list from Carinna, a wonderful friend who lives in Madison, Wisconsin. It's been a while since we've shared in the things that make someone else smile. So here's a little happiness.


The Things That I Love -

1. Riding on a boat on a beautiful summer day with the wind blowing your hair back. Water provides such a tranquil backdrop for any outing.

2. The spontaneous laughter of children.

3. The smell of autumn air, fresh and crisp, especially on State Street in Madison. (It reminds me of when I first started dating my husband)

4. The high provided to me after getting some great exercise.

5. Cooking a meal where I can be super creative. Last time it was a couples only meal for Matt and me that included spinach salad with homemade croutons, beef tenderloin with mushroom rosemary sauce, fresh green beans from our garden with brown sugar, and chocolate pot de crème.

6. The sense of accomplishment felt after completing a long awaited project. We are doing a lot of these lately with baby #2 on the way.

7. Going away to a secluded location during the winter in Wisconsin where you can watch the snowfall and snuggle by the fire with a good glass of wine.

8. To get all dolled up for a special occasion. I don’t get dressed up that often anymore since I’m not working (I should make more of an effort) and I miss it!

9. To listen to or play a great piece of music that takes you to different place or time.

10. To travel more, lately I’ve been craving a good beach getaway (maybe Hawaii) so I can lie on the beach with the sand between my toes without a care in the world. However, there are several other countries on my wish list as well.

Thank you for sharing Carinna. It was fun glimpsing what warms your heart. Keep sending those wish lists or love lists over everyone!
