These are a few of my favorite things

My husband and I are doing a bike race on Saturday. Tonight we went for about a 10 mile ride for training. At one point we were flying down a hill at about 25 miles an hour. It was such a rush...and so scary too! If you have ever seen a racing bike, the tires are so very skinny. One mistake and I would have been a goner! Luckily, I wasn't thinking about that. I was completely and totally enjoying the moment! It took me back to childhood when we would ride our bikes EVERYWHERE. We would go flying down a hill with our hands in the air just enjoying the wind blowing in our hair. I think this is one of my favorite things. When we got to the bottom of the hill, there was a gentleman mowing his grass. The smell of fresh cut grass is another one of my favorite things. I felt about 12 years old tonight...with no worries and no responsibility! *Sigh*

So...it got me thinking about more of my favorite things. Here's what I have come up with:
*The sounds of children's laughter
*The crisp air of fall
*Laying in the bed with one of my daughter having "pillow talk"
*That feeling when you first realize that you love someone
*A bubble bath, a glass of wine, a good book, and no interruptions
*When my husband rubs my feet
*My favorite time of day is right when I get home from work. My husband is cooking dinner (He cooks because he is VERY good at it and I am VERY bad at it. Don't judge!)and the kiddos are talking about their day.
*The feeling of pride and accomplishment when you cross the finish line
*The sound of waves crashing
*The smell of my husband when he has just had a shower
*Snuggling up on a snowy day with my family, a fire, a good movies, and good snacks

I am sure that I could go on and on and on. I leave it there for now. I would love to hear what some of yours are. Please leave a comment below to tell me some of your favorite things.
