Things I Look Forward To

I have recently written blogs on things I like, things I miss, and this one is about things I look forward to.  This blog is about regular every day things I look forward to and some things that happen as "special" one-time-a year things.  

So here's my list:

1. Reading a great book.  Great books transport you to a different place, help you learn, and require you to slow down and spend time away from the daily hustle and bustle of life.
2. Halloween.  I love seeing little children come to the door in their costumes and "trick or treat".  I remember how magical that time was as a youngster and I love being a part of that night for little ones.
3. A hot cup of Earl Grey tea with honey.  It's relaxing, soothing, and tastes so good. 
4. An afternoon nap.  There is nothing better than getting away for a half hour and getting rejuvenated for the remainder of the day.  I feel like I can conquer the world after a nap.
5. Preparing breakfast with my wife and sitting down to eat it with nothing scheduled afterwards.  Enough said.
6. Getting my back scratched.  Grandma spoiled me and I still love to have my back rubbed and scratched.
7. Making a fire and sitting around it.  Outdoors.  On a cool Fall evening.
8. Sleep.
9. Waiting for the stars to shine in the night sky
10. Sex with my wife (one of those "special", one-time-a-year things I mentioned)
