What Makes My World Go 'Round

My friend Kalyn was recently asked, "What makes your world go 'round?" for an art show application. She encouraged her blog readers to answer the same question. So, here's my list:

What makes your world go 'round?

• The 15 minutes Darby and I spend catching up on our days after I pick him up from the lab
• Holding babies
• Playing games with my parents, brother, and sister
• Eating cookie dough from the bowl
• The bittersweet feeling of finishing a good book
• Remembering silly inside jokes from high school
• Custard Cup - duh!
• Sunday afternoon naps
• Long talks with friends 
• The excitement of the first day of school  
• My grandma's homemade Chex Mix and strawberry bread and Christmas candy . . .
• Exploring new cities
• Monthly e-mails from my college girlfriends
• The first cool day of fall
• Frousin "taditions"
• Enjoying my daily bowl of oatmeal and cup of coffee with Darby
• Real mail in the mailbox
• Fields of bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush (miss this so much)
• Trying new recipes
• Being called by one of my nicknames - KK, KJ, Kaykey

What about you? What makes your world go 'round?
