I'm not one for fluffy animals, heart-shaped boxes, or outward pourings of affection, but I am, admittedly, one for love. I love a lot. And I have lots to love. I'm pretty much the luckiest sap alive.
1. I love that life isn't easy all of the time. I love a good challenge. And the taste of victory.
2. I love that I can leave my socks at the front door, crud on the dishes, and dried toothpaste around the tube, and not only does he not say anything, but he loves me for these things.
3. I love that my family is so happy and healthy and smart and amazing.
4. I love running with the wind in my face; it makes me feel alive.
5. I love getting mail from my gramma on every single holiday without fail. It makes me feel so loved.
6. I love hearing the excitement in other people's voices when they achieve something monumental to them. It's electrifying.
7. I love that he knows when I say "no it's ok" actually I mean "yes! please oh please!"
8. I love that I feel loved from all angles - friends, family, partner.
9. I love that even the worst of my problems are miniscule at best.
10. I love that there is hope.
11. I love playing fetch in a muddy field and watching Harley live her life to the very fullest. I've never seen a happier dog than a muddy puppy with ears flailing as she gallops tongue hanging out the side toward the orange ball.
12. I love the funny things that little kids say.
13. I love that sometimes I don't need to say anything at all to be fully understood.
14. I love clean slates.
15. I love pet insurance.
16. I love fresh air and big rocks and muddy mountain passes.
17. I love a good book and an herbal tea and a million seconds of silence.
18. I love piggyback rides and high fives. I will never be too old for either.
19. I love all the quirky weird bits and pieces about him.
20. I love this wacky life.
