The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be. ~ Marcel Pagnol

In the Spirit of Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day is the day of LOVE!  The day that everyone expresses how much they LOVE their significant others, friends, and family. 

So...In the Spirit of Valentine's Day, I got to thinking about all the people and things that I LOVE and how the LOVE that we have for certain people/things really shape who we are.  Knowing what you LOVE determines in so many ways what you will accept, tolerate, fight for, stand for, and even eliminate.  Knowing what you LOVE gives you the tools to tailor fit your life and make it 'one-of-a-kind'.  In other words, you learn what you want to spend your money on, waste your time with, and allow into your circle.

As I approach 30, I truly know what/who I LOVE!  And knowing what I LOVE gives me a better understanding of who I am.  I LOVE:
  • God
  • mexican food(especially queso dip)
  • family
  • ice cream(any flavor)  
  • the beach
  • my husband
  • the sound of rain
  • a good cup of Joe
  • feet(don't ask)
  • push-up bras
  • monica
  • reality t.v.
  • reading
  • Cooper
  • mini coopers( but, not the price tag)
  • traveling
  • being a woman
  • being a black woman
  • big walk-in closets
  • spa sydell
  • christmas
  • having lunch with girlfiends
  • myself
  • talking (sometimes too much)
  • my bff's
  • cute dresses
What do you LOVE and what does it tell you about yourself?
