Things I Love Thursday -- Cholesterol and Cats

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight, and bull-strong

♥ Fantastic ♥ 

It's been a few weeks, let's talk about some stuff.

I'm starting to write this a few days in advance, and pull from a daily paper journal I keep.

[edit: I'm glad I started this a few days ago, because I'm feeling pretty low tonight, and it's hard to be loving and thankful. Luckily, re-reading these things actually gave me a little lift!]

This week...

♥ I love English Muffins, because they let all the butter soak down into the pillows and pockets, and make a warm and squishy and rich breakfast. Covered in honey. My god I love honey. 

♥ I love arts & crafts, because I am fairly talented at making amusing things out of cardboard, glue, craft foam, and yarn. Arts & crafts are extremely soothing to me, and I've actually seen my arts & crafts output fluctuate in relation to my mood and my need to be soothed. I knit faster during really intense hockey games, for example. And guess what season is upon us...

♥ I love sunshine on fall leaves!! 

♥ I love having the entire piano score to RENT. I printed out "Goodbye Love", and guess what, I can do ALL THE VOICES. See me in a month or so for a full-blown screaming tiny piano concert. 

♥ I love this picture:  

Sourced: Kyoko Has A Blog

because it reminds me of being cozy and warm, and of beautiful snow, and of the bed and the room I wish for.

 ♥ I love Indian food, and mango sticky rice

♥ I love being close to other people. I love seeing old friends, and holding hands. I love late-night emails and texts that make me laugh, ponder, or just think of that person. I love companionable silences, and sing-alongs. I love it when a strange walks past me who smells really good (not in a creepy way, I swear) and has this... presence. I love collaborations and supporting each other. I love people's creativity and drive and passion.

♥ I love becoming braver and taking risks (!!!!) I love the thrill of taking a small chance on my future, knowing opportunities never stop. I even love failure, because at least I tried. 

♥ I love the idea of returning to Japan ♥ 

♥ I love my fat little pig cats. I love this blog about the worst cats (aren't they adorable?!). 

♥ I love thinking of jokes and laughing to myself

♥ I love my good health, and my strong body

What do you love?

Make your list

Let some of your passion breathe

It's going to get cold

We can't stay bottled up forever this winter
