What I Love


What do I love?

I love my family first, of course!
I love my dogs second.
I love crisp, clear, sunny Fall days, the sound of a violin concerto, the smell of apple pie baking in the oven, the warmth of a hug.
I love walking in the woods, capturing magical moments on film, writing moving passages.
I love a book I cannot put down, a poem I cannot forget.

I love watching puppies play, I love a good golf shot, I love the phone calls my daughters place for no particular reason at all. I love good friends. I love forgiveness.

I love quiet mornings--the way the sun forms familiar silhouettes as it begins to rise. Did I worry the Norway spruce would not return?

I love explosive proud moments.

I love a smile that is not expected.
