Ten Things I am Thinking of Now That I Love

1. My gorgeously talented, oh so clever, hugbunny AKA Mr. Rogue, the best husband in the world. Although currently he has been kidnapped by his company; seriously I have only seen him in passing this entire week.



2. The love of my parents. Their constant support, love, guidance have made me into the person I am today and without them I would be LOST. I thank God that we are close in heart, if not close in distance, and hope that someday I can swing by and see them anytime I want.



3. My wonderful, gifted, talented, loyal friends. I am so fortunate to have so many amazing people in my life that inspire me, love me, support me, and sometimes tell me how it is. There is no one else I would rather spend memories with and each and every one of you is PRICELESS.



4. Vacations and really I don’t care if it is 2 hours down away or halfway across the world, new things, new places, new experiences make my heart sing and give me SO MUCH inspiration.



5. Beautiful surroundings. Maybe because I am an artist it makes me very sensitive to things around me. I need to be surrounded by things I find beautiful, from my home to the sights around town I just can’t get enough. I love to see them every day, and they make me smile. I like waking up in my home under an adorable comforter, looking over at my necklaces hanging from a vintage tree, seeing books artfully arranged on my coffee table, it makes me take PRIDE in my home and a special smile to see the things that we choose to fill it with.



6. Music is something that is in my home a majority of the time, generally it is something soft and soothing lilting in the background although I have a playlist for most things I do around the house; something upbeat and peppy for cleaning the house, usually symphony when I am cooking, and my mellow artistic time. My ipod is generally the first thing I turn on every day and the last thing to be turned off. It sooths me, makes me happy... I could never live without it.



7. My new cooking addiction, obsession, need to be in the kitchen all the time. It combines so many things that I love and I am learning so much.



8. My photography that I took up last year has brought me so much joy and happiness. It goes to show you that something taken up as a whim can fulfil you in ways you cannot even imagine. It has spiralled into other areas and I cannot wait to see where it takes me next.



9. My wonderful little furry critters, all four of them bring a different personality to the house and the laughter and joy they bring is something immeasurable. Each sweet furry face is cherished.



10. My blog, because I love it, I love how it has inspired a whole wave of others blogging and I love it for keeping me more connected to people I may have lost and I love it for meaning so much to me.
