Things I Love

The older I get the more I enjoy life and have learned to take delight in the little everyday things. So, I thought I would post on things I love doing, that don't cost a thing.

I love...

Laughing. Really good belly laughs, preferably with someone else. But I have been known to laugh out loud when no one else is around. Listening to other people laugh.
A good cry. It just makes me feel so much better.
Watching my kids and the kids that have been adopted into the Taylor family grow.
Hanging out with the youth at church.
Holding a baby or holding a kid on my lap. I don't know what it is about it, even when Brianna climbs up on my lap, no she is not to big.
Stamping/making cards
Chatting with some of "my girls" on Facebook and we can chat for hours. (You know who you are!) Or even just talking with them face to face!
Singing and dancing in the car. Brianna even calls it "car dancing."
Hearing Amos call Brianna, "my baby."
Talking to Brian.
Talking to Nana.
Good coffee with good friends!
Cooking, watching cooking shows, reading cookbooks, reading cooking magazines, eating what has been cooked, giving away what I have made, you get the idea.
Reading a good book.
Watching Alex run to his favorite person, Travis.
Kids imaginations, you can go anywhere with them. (Alex is sitting in a chair driving to get us ice cream.)
Sunshine after a storm.
My kids smiles.
Rock Group Fridays and a great lesson from Mr. David.
Having Sonya and Amos over for lunch or supper.

There are probably a million other things that I could list. But, the point is, enjoy life. Enjoy what is around you everyday, you don't even have to spend any money!

And what I love most is spending time with Bri and Alex. Talk about an uplifting experience - when people ask me what makes me truly happy - my reply is always 'spending time with the grans!'
Love,
