Monday morning...seems like every time I turn around, it's once again Monday morning.  Truthfully, there are things I many things I love about Monday mornings!  I'm kind of a dreamer... have always loved time alone, because I can think, dream, read, think of what I want to write down in the quiet time...it gives me time to play the piano or to pray for as long as I want.  For the most part it is usually very quiet in the house when I am alone... I rarely turn on the TV or even music.  My thoughts keep me occupied while I make myself busy around the house.  But this made me think of other things I have always loved... things that make me feel warm and fuzzy (and safe!) inside.  And I'm sure along the way I'll come back and add to this list.... But for now - here is my list....
