I love you

As I sit and eat a take 5 I wonder why the sugar commodities are so plentiful with valentines day? I don't care for it. If anything I feel too much sugar only makes me feel sick, unsatisfied and lumpy. Don't get me wrong. I agree with a day devoted to affection BUT... think that should be more regular than a generic 'day o love'. I must admit though... Feb. 14th and me have had our fair share of wonderful experiences. I don't pity myself on this day as some might. I find it a day to reflect, be grateful and live out right. So with not much more to say I will tell you of some thing I love at the moment.

I love that its beginning to get brighter each morning and how after school on my way to work it's not dark but it's creeping in.
I love listening to the Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel to wake me up heading to school.
I love the human body. SOOOO AMAZING.
I love Brie cheese... with green apples and french bread.
I love meeting people you are completely at home with.
I love sleeping.
I love to learn to love myself.
I love late night talks with my roommates.
I love my own time to myself... to put things in proper perspective and order.
I love that I am emotional and yet realize I am more emotionally sane than I thought.
I love touch... need it.
I love being warm and memory foam mattresses.
I love being needed and me needing others.
I love that I am becoming more independent.
I love Steven, Tracy and David, with whom I work.
I love time to be busy and time to chill out.
I love my family. With our belly laughs that make us cry and tiffs so innocent they are forgotten in moments.
We are so perfectly imperfect... that is something I love.
I love friends who fit into family catergory. They too have shaped me.
I love laundry dry sheets. mmmm so good.
I am happy and I love that.

So much more... but am glad that there is more to love than hate and cringe at. Hope you all enjoy your fair share of lovin and sugar this weekend.

valentine's day...schmalentine's day. Any excuse for treats is ok in my book though. (Although I don't really need a special day for that. Every day is special enough for a treat to me!). I can't wait to see you again!
