My Favorite Things Part 1

Please excuse this post if you've read it already or if you've seen it too many times now. I posted this on Facebook two years ago. I debated over it, but I have decided to put them all on my blog so that I can keep them all in one spot. So, sorry about the LONG list. You do not have to read all of these. However, I am going to add a third part this year. A brand new list of Favorites.

Here is what I wrote in 2008...

Being November, and thinking about what I am grateful for, I decided to make a list of my favorite things. Of these, I am very grateful! They help me to find joy in the journey! These are in NO particular order. Just some things that have come to my mind. As time goes on, I believe I will add more.Who knows, maybe make it to 100.

Two of my favorite things in one photo.

My family and Disneyland!
