100 Things I Love

{Stacked rocks found while at Cannon Beach, OR}

Life has been all the way around difficult for so many recently. The anniversary of 9/11 is coming this weekend and we're all forced to remember where we were when. It's a memory that is forever embedded in my mind and probably yours. It makes us hold our loved ones close and pray the evil of this world will go away. The weather around the U.S. has left a lot to be desired. Hurricanes, earthquakes, wild fires...sheeesh!!! Scary!!

After so much I thought I'd take things to a lighter note and let y'all get to know a little more about moi. I found a list in my journal from years ago entitled "100 Things I Love"...I cried (shocker!!) while reading it. I thought the 100 things fit nicely with my 100 things theme this year so I thought I'd share.

Have you ever written a list of the things you love? No?? You should!!

It's seriously the coolest thing to come across years later. It's like a peek into your own soul. If you have written one or want to...I'd love to hear from you so you can share with the group. Come on...be a good sharer :)
