Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...

I love this picture because it represents two of my favorite things in the world - my sweet and impossibly adorable kitty Sonny and Steve Madden shoes. Whatever your favorite things may be, isn't it nice to have them around when life hands you lemons?

I know I'm jumping the gun on the Thanksgiving holiday, but I'm just feeling especially thankful today for the things that never fail to bring me comfort and joy in an uncertain and ever-changing world.

Today's good news? The beauty of favorite things never fades.
