A few of my favorite things

In light of Thanksgiving I thought I'd write down a few of my favorite things in life that I am grateful for, and we could start a gratitude list. What are your favorite things?

1. children's laughter
2. giant trees with sunlit leaves
3. tea and biscuits and a delicious book
4. cats that stumble and then check if anyone is looking
5. dogs running at full speed along the beach
6. color! everywhere and anywhere it amazes me
7. warm blankets on cold rainy mornings
8. fresh drinking water right out of the stream
9. piano playing at night in the apartment above me
10. pumkin pie covered in fresh whipped cream...for breakfast ;)
11. the quiet in my mind when I start a new painting
12. warm glowing windows on snowy evenings
