I love finding a new keiki on an orchid.

I love going to start a chore only to find that someone else has already done it for me.

I love it when I'm walking my dog and a little kid will rush up to pet her.

I love the sound of rain in the desert.

I love that my 16 year old son still makes artwork for me.

I love when a stranger plays my favorite songs on a jukebox.

I love unintentionally hilarious scenes in horror movies.

I love starting and finishing a project on the same day, especially when it should take longer.

I love wearing socks I knit myself.

I love antique hand tools.

I love getting the high score on an old pinball machine.

I love it when my kids laugh.

I love the smell of fresh basil.

I love finding out that I've made a positive impact on someone long after I've forgotten what I might have done for them.

I love when a stranger plays my favorite songs on a jukebox.

Its almost like you won something.

Its almost like you won something.

It really is isn't it? I hadn't thought about it that way until you pointed it out but it is.

All these made me smile!

Therapy and couples support told us that we will repeat this again and again and just reach for the courage to stay together and face the issues and heal together. I hold onto this hope like a life preserver. Thanks for listening.

Heck yeah to the fresh basil and hilarious horror film moments.

I simmer basil and lemons on the stove whenever I want the apartment to feel calmer - simply lovely.

We have so much in common.
