Most people are blogging about their new year’s resolution right about now, if they haven’t already. I’m not. I have decided that I can’t do new year’s resolutions… I have to just do daily resolutions. It’s hard for me to stay focused – most of the time! :)
So I am going to just make a list of some of the things I just love…. little things to big things. Not in any specific order – just as they pop into my head. These are things that make me smile, warm my heart, and make my days brighter.
- My husband’s unconditional love
- My savior’s unconditional love
- Hugs from my nieces
- My church
- Music
- Corvettes
- Nap time on a rainy day
- Breeze of the ocean on a spring day
- Sound of the birds outside my window
- Smell of a clean towel

Well, it’s simply put in the easiest way of writing. I could have added a bunch of big words and adjectives, and gotten really deep. But this is where my mind is at the moment. Sure, there are a lot of more things that I just love, but I’m going to stop here.
Most of all, I’m so blessed to have a heart that loves so many people, because my younger years were filled with hate and fear. But even more so is that I have so many people who love me! I never thought that I would be surrounded by so many wonderful and loving people in my life. When all I was told as a child by my birth father was that I wasn’t worthy of anyone’s love – not even his. Perhaps that is why most of all I just love LOVE. :)
Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrong. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
~ Corinthians 13:4-7
I pray you have a blessed 2011 – that we all have a blessed 2011!
May God bless your eyes…..
