Favorite Things

Ok. Here's the deal...I'm tired of being cranky. Yesterday, I was so crabby that I just couldn't bring myself to post anything. Today has been much better, but I want keep my focus positive and the best way I can think of to do this is to just make a list of my favorite things. So here goes (please note that these are not necessarily in any order...except how they pop into my brain).
