These I have loved

These I have Loved:

A plush blanket’s warm embrace;

Feeling of accomplishment after finishing a project;

The face of an innocent baby animal;

Crack of thunder in the distance, the smell of cool rain,

Smell of a freshly mowed lawn,

Crunching leaves on a brisk fall night,

Ice crisply breaking while taking a step;

Whistling along to a favorite tune;

Confidence of a new outfit;

The sparkle of an explosion of color;

Comfort of ice cream on a hot summer day;

Paws jumping on me after a long time away;

Sleeping in your own bed after a vacation;

A mostly empty movie theater;

Having the entire family home for a day;

A cold glass of UNsweet tea;

The first warm day after a long winter;

Falling asleep to a soothing shower of rain;

Breathing through the nose after stuffy nose;

These I will always love and many, many more.
