The inspiring Jen Lemen (another online friend who's lovely in real life) has written a great post today about the 25 things she never gets tired of -- what a great subject to focus on as we wind up 2007 and get ready for 2008. I think I'll take some time over the next 24 hours to come up with my own list of twenty-five, but just to get started here:

1) Watching Marcus or Alex laugh. It makes me deep-down-in-my-soul-happy.

2) Really good food, particularly when I'm tasting it for the very first time.

3) Full moons.

4) The feeling I get when I'm taking someone's portrait, and know that I've just captured the perfect shot, really highlighting their spirit.

5) The ocean. In all of its forms.

Be sure to take a look at Jen's list, and I encourage you to come up with your own. Nothing like focusing on the happy to start off a brand new year.
