Some Things I've More Recently Noticed I Love About Some of the People I Love

1. Jason's bum-chin (or face-bum...that dimple in his chin for clarification), warmth and strange quirks.
2. Melissa Kuiper's laugh and sense of humor.
3. Mira's spontaneity and generosity. And she's my Ukrainian kindred spirit.
4. Ashley's ability to open me up.
5. Katrina's warm hugs (when you least expect them).
6. Felix's unmatchable wit.
7. Laura Stewart's random caresses, bum squeezes, and many other gestures of love (ie. sticking her finger up my nose).
8. LMo's amazing ability to listen and share at the appropriate times.
9. Gayle's all-around ease (ie. her ability to make me calm).
10. Amanda V.'s spiritual influence and strength.
11. Cass's willingness to always keep me company. And buy baby things.
12. Mikey's approachability and openness.
13. Dan's people-ness and the way he treats Mira and loves my cats.
14. Rich's hospitality and many talents and our shared love of Jason. Don't deny it, Rich.
15. Elora's ability to be both immensely calm and wildly fun and girly.
16. Kristel's authenticity and affection.
17. Emmi is my Finnish other half.
18. Emily Darling's over-all joy and the open arms she always has for me.
19. Annie's sweetness.
20. Dylon's honest-to-goodness love for everyone and kindness.
21. Arvo and Sara's furry-ness and purr-ness. And cute little heads.

a special category for my mom and dad:
Mom: Seriously the best listener and wisest woman I know. My very best girl friend ever. Where would I be without her?
Dad: My earthly strength and one who requires no explanation from me. He just gets me.

I also love many other things about many other people, but that list would just go on forever.
