because i spent most of today sad and angry, i will do a thread of things i love, mostly for my own benefit, but maybe you will feel the love or do a thread as well

i'll start with the obvious. i love my kids. that's natalie (30) and daniel (27). they are a light in my life. they make me laugh, make me smile, and make me proud. they are good humans

i love my husband. he's everything to me, and he has kept me from going insane during this quarantine. i'm proud of him for reasons most of you know. he's an inspiration to me and others

i love pizza. and tacos. and sushi. and bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches. i love steak and cookies and french toast and hamburgers. and it shows

i love mc ren with all my heart. she is such a goofy pup. and i love and miss lili so much (my in memoriam tattoo)

i love music. it get me through the days and nights. it lifts me, consoles me, soothes me, understands both my sadness and joy. thank you especially to @KevinDevineTwit whose music has seen me through some incredibly tough times

also to @mountain_goats for every lyric that lives in my heart and soul. love you

i love autumn. it's the best time of year and fills me with hope and a clarity i can't find in other seasons

i love california. i love going to sacramento to visit todd's family. it's my home away from home and i haven't been there in a while and i'm missing it a lot these days

as much as i hate it, i love twitter. i love the friends i've made here, the laughs i get, the things i learn. i love spending time with all of you. thank you for sharing your thoughts and lives with me. love to all of you. /end

oh, i forgot one thing. i love sports. i love baseball and hockey especially. and i miss them both. but i understand why it's gotta be this way. miss you, @NYIslanders and @Yankees
