I read recently that listing and naming things we love reminds us to put them at the front of each day wherever and whenever possible.
Here is my abridged list. I invite you, my loved and lovely readers, to please list yours here too in the comment section.
Share your loves. Make it random, make it little stuff, make it big stuff.
And then fill your days with as much of it as you can.
It is the month of love, remember.
