I draw so much inspiration from my friends, be they bloggers, industry colleagues or simply wonderful people -- I feel lucky at this point in my life to be surrounded by interesting, loving, life-affirming friends. So when I read this piece on Jen's blog, and saw that it had been inspired by another blog I enjoy reading, I knew I was going to steal it. (I think...yes, this is the 2nd time I've done this to Jen!)
25 Things I Never Get Tired Of:
