I've been using my browser's "restore pages" option all weekend whenever I've had to restart my computer so I could comment on this, and I still haven't been able to decide what to say. Hmmm... I guess I'll just do the first ones I think of. :)

♥ Fresh flowers - especially tulips, right now... though my favorite flowers are lilacs and lilies of the valley. Right now I have a vase of pink tulips with white edging... they're so sweet.
♥ My family and friends... they have been there through thick and thin.
♥ God... His love, His grace and mercy, His presence, His patience... I could go on and on...
♥ Finding (and eating) gluten-free food. Especially when it's something I thought I could never have again.
♥ Though there is a part of me that wants to say chocolate, I think I will say my computer - because it allows me to keep in touch with my friends... and to make new ones. :)

I wish I had room for more! :)

Penny Smith said...

-My family (OK-given)
-Borders Cafe Coffee's... I think they are {gasp} better than Starbucks
-dandelions-because my kids give them to me as "real" flowers!
-cardinals (the bird, not the team)
-dolphins... big suprise having been a trainer!
-scrapbooking embellishements. Give me kraft paper and all the little add-ons, and I am in heaven!
-Evidence of God (that way I cover it all!)
