League of Extraordinary Bloggers: I Love...

It's League of Extraordinary Bloggers time again, and this week's League topic is:

Write a stream of conscious post 
listing the things you love and hold dear.  

And I'll be honest, this wasn't strictly "stream of consciousness" writing, but it was as close as I could get. I went back and slipped in author names, and moved stuff around by category a bit. I just couldn't handle all the chaos... and it needed pictures. I discovered I love a lot of stuff. Way more than someone ought to love, probably. 

Like this. This for instance.

I love my wife and my three kids. I love my Aunts and my wife's cousins. Those people are my family. I love the things that make my life real and semi-stable, like my house, my job, my car, my friends. But those things should go without saying. Those things I love so much that the love is bigger than anything else I love, and it eclipses everything else. 

Wuv.
