1) my puppies (who really aren't puppies anymore); for providing me with an endless source of unwavering affection & entertainment.

2)that there's places still relatively untouched by man~ i just learned about one in Russia that has the world's biggest tigers, foxes, hedgehogs, raccoon-dogs, turtles that mate for life, leapords, fish that can live out of water for up to 3 days, & the world's largest owls,that reach two and a half feet tall. That's a pretty impressive owl :)

3) that my book shelves are full & will someday be fuller

4) freckles on a girl's nose

5) Miguel, my ever lovin' spanish mountain man, who is also my best friend & husband; and our son, who taught me that you can love someone so much it's utterly ridiculous
