These Things I Love ...

My BMH (BIG morning hug) from my six y/o son.

The morning's first cup of coffee. Folger's. Black.

Working from home. Being a SAHWD (Stay At Home Working Dad) allows me to drop at and pick up my son from school.

Blacks that master the English language. Proper.

In tennis, an ace or forehand winner. Once you hit the "sweet spot" of a tennis ball you'll never forget it!

When a chic looks me up and down. (OK, it's only happened once, but guys LIVE for that moment!)

The way my ceiling fan keeps the temperature in my home around 76F all summer long.

My son's enthusiasm from accomplish his first of anything. Like scoring his first soccer goal, making his first basket, getting to the top of the spider's web ... then cheerfully telling his mom.

The laughter my family makes when they get together.

Watching strangers get emotional because of one of THEIR loved ones accomplishments. Those that watched Darrell Green's acceptance speech into the Hall of Fame recently know what I'm talking about.

And second on my list of favs: My BNH (BIG night hug) from my six y/o son.

Have a great evening and weekend. Thanks for reading!

My wife and kids looks first thing the morning and last thing at night

The smell of my kids (sometimes)

A warm bed on a cold night


To hear my wife say..."Go see if the kids sleep yet <:~)"

A smile for no reason

Learning new stuff

Hearing interesting ideas


To hear my brothers and sister laugh

The sound of my father and son playing

To see two opposites explaining their differences

The sound or Bling-Bling...followed by...it is now safe to take off your seat belt

My mother's voice

Wow things I love.....

I love cooking dinner while having a glass of wine over sounds of Michael Buble, Nancy Wilson or Earl Klugh in the background.

I love when my girlfriends kids I've know since they were kids call me
to tell me "Mom I love you!"

I love to check on my parents and hear they are going through their daily routines,
without hearing of any sought of illness or sickness.

I love the sound of children playing in the park, with all the sound of innocence.

I love, love the sound of the wave crashing in at 8pm on a summer days on a quiet beach as I think of his goodness.

I love the sound of rain and the smell of it as it slips into my bedroom window an comforts me.

I look forward to hearing the sounds of my children playing in the upstairs bedroom, I'm sure it will be one of those things I'll love!

But mostly, I love to hear my good father say " Well Done humble Seravant"

These are the things I love....and in turn these are the things that love me!
