50 Favorite Things

Every once in a while I make a list of 50 favorite things...
Some items seem to stay on that list through time, other items change with the seasons or the mood.
Make a list for yourself and then remember to try to surround yourself with some of those things on a regular basis.  Its good for the soul !  My list order, does not reflect their importance, but rather, how they pop into my mind.
