These are things I greatly enjoy. These are the things that bring some alien sense of warmth that you just have to release in the form of a small sigh and a knowing smile. These are the beautiful things in life. These are reasons to get excited for times to come, and reasons to cherish the past. These are things I greatly enjoy:
-God's beauty stopping me in my tracks.

You get the AnnaRose stamp of approval on this list ;) Not like you needed it, but I just had to say, I definitely approve. Especially talking to God out loud. Who says we have to pray in silence? Why not have a real conversation? You know?
