All we have is now*

Now that the word’s end is approaching (especially if you believe in this kind of nonsense), I came up with the idea to create a list of all the things I’m truly thankful for*.

So, a toast to:

• family
• new friends
• old friends
• tequila shots
• hot coffee on rainy mornings
• chick lit books
• musicals and glee covers
• fierce high heels
• warm gloves
• romantic comedies
• men who cook
• hot Italians
• snow ball fights
• new starts
• festivals
• impromptu kisses (impromptu birthday parties, as well)
• songs you can dance to
• songs you can cry to
• Facebook (here it goes, I said it! I'm addicted to it.)
• tiramisu, cheesecakes, straciatella ice-cream and Apfelkuchen
• dictionaries
• theme parties
• staying up all night long
• cities we know like the back of our hand
• cities we've never visited -yet we'd die to! (oh wait, this is about to happen!)
• lace lingerie
• old photos (yes, even those taken when we were 6 and probably toothless)
• mulled wine (Glühwein)
• pearl earrings
• black sunglasses
• red nail polish
• latin clubs
• really cheesy music
• strangers exchanging glances
• clear skys with lots of bright stars
• driving with really loud music on
• exchanging messages online late at night (while you should have been sleeping!)
• GNO getting ready sessions
• hand cream
• glossy magazines
• returning home

I've probably forgotten like a thousand things but isn't it predictable? There are so many things to be grateful for. Like being young, healthy and the owner of a Garfield look-alike.

Lots of love,

F.

*I could also call everyone I know and say how much I love them –or just the naked truth, but I’m too busy to do that since I got another dance class tonight! The winter ball is planned for the end of January, so I’m perfectly sure we’re all going to survive.
