What do you love?

On this pre-Valentine’s Day Eve, I’m thinking of love in a different context…not that of romantic love, but of things that I love…things that make my heart beat a little faster.

I love music.  I love how it makes me feel.  I love the way it can make us smile, or move us to tears.

I love pizza.  Yes, I love a food item.  I love the taste, the texture, the variety.  I love that it’s iconic and universal.  I love that it’s cheap, quick and easy – and satisfying.

I love learning.  I love researching and gathering new information.

I love dinner parties.

I love love love the beach.  The smell of the air, the sound of the waves, the warmth of the sun.

I love the letter E.

I love climbing into bed at night.

I love writing and blogging.

I love beautiful clothes.  I love fashion and jewelry and design.

I love finding a forgotten $20 bill in my pocket.

I love a great glass of wine.

I love making people feel good.  I love making people smile.

I love sitting in the theatre just as the curtain is going up.  (Conversely, I loved being backstage during my years as a performer before the curtain went up.)

I love laughing so hard I can’t stop.

I love the quiet of the early morning, enjoying a cup of coffee.

I love brunch.

I love passionate people.  I love positive people.

I love mermaids.  I love fish.

I love listening to the sound of rain on the window.

I love the smell of bread baking.

I love love.

I love life.

And I love and appreciate all of you.
