My Favorite Things-The Short List
As I was driving home from work today, I reflected on the little (and big) things in life that make me smile, make me happy and sometimes, turn me to mush. This is the Short List.
1. The feeling of walking barefoot in the grass
2. My puppies when they cuddle
3. Butterflies, dragonflies and hummingbirds on my butterfly bush
4. My BFF and his husband, who’ve shown me that it is possible to love someone forever
5. My new BFF, my Leetle Duckling, who’s shown me that sometimes a connection is instantaneous
6. The Grand Canyon at sunset
7. Death Valley at sunrise, in bloom
8. Anytime I get to sit on the dock in Door County
9. Crazy, wicked thunderstorms
10. Fresh tomatoes from my garden
11. Cooking, especially with veggies from my garden
12. The smell of applesauce cooking
13. Campfires and marshmallows (and s’mores too!)
14. Burning leaves in the fall
15. Hiking and rock-climbing in Devil’s Lake
16. Driving with the top down
17. Adam Lambert
18. Madame Butterfly
19. The great voices of all time, Enrique Caruso, Kiri Te-Kanawa, Renee Fleming, Adam Lambert, Bessie Smith, Louie Armstrong
20. Tyler, who still thinks of me as his hero. Won’t be long before my feet turn to clay in his eyes.
21. Sunsets-anywhere
22. Rainbows, especially double rainbows
23. Walking in the rain
24. The crunchy sound that snow makes when you walk across it
25. Music-pretty much any kind, but especially a song that breaks my heart and leaves my guts on the floor because it is sung so beautifully
There’s more, I did say this was the short list. But I have a great big grin on my face just from writing this down. So there!
