feliz día de san valentín

14 Things I Love

a husband who always takes the dog out in the bitter winter

a baby who laughs at all my jokes and lays her head in my chest when she's tired

a dog who stays by my side when I'm sad

the sun peeking through the clouds to warm the interior of my car

unlimited access to books via the library and my Nook

all sorts of breakfast cereals

just enough creamer to transform bitter coffee into a sweet sip

waking up with the sun

the luxury of a slow morning, a sofa, a laptop, and a hot mug of coffee

a long hike in a park

hunting for plane tickets anywhere and everywhere

group text messages with my strange and sweet family

coconut oil

the odes written by Pablo Neruda
