Here’s my contribution to a Rice Bowl Journal’s November collaboration project.

10 things that make you extra special:

10. Your willingness - to get up to go to Titos Tacos for 9 AM breakfasts on Sundays to satisfy my mexican food urges.
9. Your thoughtfulness - you always lower the toilet seat and replenish the toilet paper supply.
8. Your gentleness - soft kisses goodnight, even when I’m dead asleep.
7. Your patience - you listen and observe when I am sad, happy, excited, crazy or in a funk.
6. Your eyes and duck lips - which tell all the things you’re now thinking without you actually saying them.
5. Your nerdiness - to know all the geeky things I don’t know.
4. Your courage - to get up and sing Barry Manilow’s “Copacabana” and Toni Braxton’s “Unbreak My Heart”
3. Your never-ending humor - to know that “right now” means, *right now*.
2. Your warmth - to my dog and to my crazy family even when they are driving me bananas.
1. Your love - which makes me an overall better person. :*
