A few of my favorite things: family, seeing the world or dreaming of seeing the world, trees, mountains, cool breezes, friends to laugh and cry with, good books, the feel of old hardback books, poking around in quaint bookstores, new journals,the sound of rain,movies that make me cry and laugh, my gazebo, warm fires in the fireplace, sunrises and sunsets, taichi, photoblogging, dancing!, kayaking, lobster & very dark chocolate!
