love a lot

I heard a conversation on the radio yesterday. They were talking about "love" and how loosely Americans use the word love. We LOVE how food tastes, we LOVE that outfit, we LOVE this, we LOVE that. The difference being that Europeans don't use the word LOVE to describe everything. It's more of a saved word that is only used to describe the intimate emotion one feels about another. I LOVE my husband, I LOVE my children, etc...

What's wrong with LOVING everything? I spend so much effort on the end goal- whether it be at my job or my fitness or a project in my house, that I miss all the little things along the way. Instead of LOVING the end result, why not take the time to stop and LOVE the things that are happening around you on your journey?

It's okay to love a lot of little things:
1. fresh cut grass
2. the smell of saw dust
3. when my stylist washes my hair
4. the scent of a newborn baby
5. when Parker say's "Mudder's Day" (instead of Mother's Day)
6. the sound of weight hitting the ground
7. close parking spots
8. watching momma birds feed her babies
9. when the sun is high enough my visor works
10. my favorite song comes on the radio
11. vanilla ice cream with peanut butter
12. my mom's house
13. air conditioning
14. a slight breeze
15. giggles
16. the Lord's Prayer
