In sort of losing myself to just working and not doing much else, I realized I needed to start looking at the positive again. So, I gave myself some assignments, the last of which, was this list, and gave me the most smiles.
These are a few of my favorite things:
1. Mocha Frappuccino with a New York Times from Starbucks

3. Scented candles that burn out the cigarette smoke.
4. A pack of Marlboro Southern Cuts.
5. Fresh Tomato, Spinach, and Ricotta Cheese Pizza on flat bread
6. Sugarland's "Love on the Inside" album.

10. Cuddling
11. The smell of the skin of someone you love.
12. King Charles Cavaliers (cutest dogs in the world).
13. Late nights beneath the stars.

16. The urge to write, express a thought in a creative way.
17. Long conversations where hours pass and you both don't realize it.
18. Finding someone with the same interests as you.
19. A highly competitive basketball game.
20. Hitting a three-point bomb
21. Aerobic exercise that leaves you weak, and accomplished.
