There will be no opening diatribe today. Instead I’ll cut straight to the gratitude. No mess, no fuss.
Things I Love Thursday:
For The Love of Love Edition

* My wonderful husband, who is awesome enough to put up with my crazy shenanigans, quirks and moods. He is truly a blessing. * My family, who provide me unwavering support and encouragement in achieving my dreams. * My dear and precious friends, Miss Smashley and Dave. We don’t get to talk to or see each other nearly as often as we would like, but we always know we can count on each other. They are two of my nearest and dearests and I am sooooooooo thankful to have them in my life. * My fabulous furry feline, Mischa, who is always there with a purr and a loving headbutt. He rocks at giving out unconditional love. We could all certainly stand to learn a thing or two from our furry friends. * This AMAZING dog: Donnie the Doberman has been studied by scientists because of his unusual talent. He deliberately and strategically arranges stuffed animals into patterns, shapes and vignettes. It’s pretty amazing! (Now talk to me about anthropomorphic fallacy) * Inspiring artists (there is a post in the works on this very topic, so be on the lookout!)…I love them! The worlds that exist in others’ minds is always fascinating. * Love notes * Playing dress up. I used to do this just for the hell of it and have fallen out of the habit. I believe I shall begin again. Channeling your inner Little Edie is good for the soul. * Every day, because each and every one (even the crumby ones) is truly a blessing. I’ve always known this but I don’t think I honestly believed it until the other day. It was an amazing epiphany. If everything in my day goes all upside down and backwards at least I know it was special because I got to spend it with people I love. * Shoes. I have a deep and abiding love for them…big and clunky, cute and girly, it matters not…I love them all…except a particular pair of chucks which shall remain nameless. *wink*
What puts the feather in your hat, the icing on your cake today?
