About Me

I believe that it is the little things in life that are worth celebrating, and make it more interesting during the lulls between the big events. Little things like: identifying the titular line in a movie, walking through crunching fall leaves, glorious outfits (much like the ones worn by the Golden Girls-where can I buy one for myself?), laughing at yourself, the first sip of a really good glass of wine, the moment when you climb to the top of a mountain or cliff and you are rendered breathless from the beauty which surrounds you, musical montages, the bittersweet moment of finishing an amazing book, an unexpected phone call or visit from a good friend, learning something new, dramatic music in movies paired with equally as dramatic acting, blasting the music in the car and singing as loud as you can, dramatic reenactments, finding unexpected money in your pocket, laughing until you feel sick, spending time with my hubbie, laughing at my cat when she does really weird things, breaking a cell phone while trying to master the run and jump high five, board games, and many many more. Find something to celebrate each day, and life will seem that much richer...
