Taking Another Look

I just read an awesome post by my sister in law, Debi, that got me thinking. She made a list of things she used to hate that now she loves. So, I am copying her and taking another look at my own life. What are some things that I used to hate that now, through maturity and life experience, I love?

I used to hate, but now I love:

babies (not my own, of course, but those crying ones who freaked me out!)

blogs

seminary teachers or hunters for husbands (I swore I'd never marry one)

ordering only salads at restaurants (those kinds of girls drove me crazy--get me the meat!)

kids with dirty faces and messy hair (now they belong to me)

coloring my hair

SUVs

pecans

almonds

seeds

the real taste of food

listening to news on the radio

running

pilates

whole wheat everything

TV in my master bedroom (sometimes it's nice to be able to watch a good movie or the news in bed!)

spinach

canning tomatoes, peaches

eating a handful of tomatoes for a snack

football

Harry Potter

Dr. Seuss

coming up with meals (no, I still hate that)

Moms who talk on the phone

olive oil

Nacho Libre (I only sort of hated it at first, but I love it, it's fantastic!)

drinking water all day long

going to the bathroom all day long (no, still hate that)

New York

Dogs


saving money

Disneyland

What about you? What do you love now that you used to hate?
