From my friend Susan's blog ... As of April, 2008, these are 50 of my favorite things, not necessarily in order:
NOTE: I guess I’m just not as happy a person as Susan, because I couldn’t list 100... and I really gave this some thought!
1. My family & friends – I could use up the whole list on this, so I won’t mention everyone specifically … plus, if I did it in the wrong order, I’d get in lots of trouble!
2. Austin, TX
3. The color blue, particularly Marina blue
4. The Beach, especially swimming in the Ocean
5. My nieces (OK, I said I wasn’t going to mention friends and family specifically, but I had to do it)
6. Photographs
7. Thanksgiving
8. Italy
9. Tutoring the Lual family

How about glam Metal? Retro 70s music? Dancing and singing to oldies? Shiner Boch? Ice cream with rasberry sauce? Hearing an old song that you haven't heard forever on the radio? The way a song reminds you of a fun moment?
Clean sheets, favorite pillow, a good hug, the first warm day after a cold winter or a surprisingly warm day in the middle of winter, the smell in the air after a summer rain, a warm fire on a cold snowy day with a cup of hot chocolate w/ lots of marshmellows, the feel of the sun on your skin after winter, the excited feeling of the first snow fall, the crunch of autumn leaves when you walk on them...ok this is fun
