I have a strange addiction to puzzles and tea. 

I love rainy days when I can sit out on the porch and listen to the thunder rattle the windows; how perfectly empty the world feels at 4 in the morning; the way the wind smells after it snows; the thrill of finding a used book that I've been searching for; a good, ab crushing laugh; the blue in my husband's eyes; and the smell of cranberries. 

•Never lose the desire to climb a tree, run through the sprinklers or play in the rain.
