PAUSE: Things we love right this minute include...

(I took this picture on a hike at home in Iowa last week)

It's a very rainy, gloomy Monday here in Chicago. And I'm feeling a twinge crabby. And you know what that means?

It means I need a quick dance party in the apartment (cue Jamie Foxx and T-Paine in the background- yes, I am still listening to the generally terrible song 'Blame It' on a regular basis) and a quick list of wonderful things about life! And I need your help. Here are the things I love right this minute:

1) 2 new Learning Partners from Turkey to practice conversing in English with!
2) My mustard greens
3) The great state of Iowa and all its inhabitants
4) My new zit cream made with stinky tea tree oil
5) Pearl earrings

How about you? What do you love today? Thanks for your help. I'm smiling already, just imagining your responses.
