My favourite things

If I were to list my favourite things, the list wouldn't go in any order--it would have to be random, because, really --life and thoughts can just be random---but, this is the beginning:

• Love - love of and for my family and my friends
• Green--I love green grass and smell of freshly mown lawns. 
• Teddy Bears- I became a real collector about 11-12 years ago--Our home now resembles a very up-market teddy bear toy shop---but each one has such character and personality!
• My blue convertible - I have always driven either a "sensible " or a "family" car all of my life--so buying my little blue convertible just for me has been a really great treat!
• The smell of freshly popped popcorn--and knowing that it is going to be enjoyed while watching a good movie while sharing the popcorn!
• Surprises---even better if I'm the 'Surpriser'!
• Freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, and the smiles on peoples' faces
• Laughter - lots of it!
• Clean sun-dried bed sheets!
• Animals and nature--their strange and wondrous way of being and existing
• Burning candles nightly--red. pink and white - for purification of our space and the integration of love--but mainly because--I love candles!
• The early morning anticipation of each new day
• Butterflies--or 'Flutterbies 'as Chris says
• Dragonflies--especially the one that sat at our swimming pool all summer while we splashed around--always fluttering around the same plant, while I 'talked' with it!
• Christmas and its wonderful spirit of love
• Children's smiling faces
• The joy of giving gifts
• A good friend's shoulder on sad days
• The smell of freshly baked bread
• Tulips!
• Jason's stuffed, poached chicken
• Rome!
• Venice!
• Not having to live out of a suitcase any longer!
• Packing a suitcase for our next adventure
• Looking at our proposed new home
• Childhood--especially my own--so many memories
• Dogs - the closest thing to a human friend that one could have
• ...just knowing that this list really does just go on and on...

Hope you write your list--I may add to this one--you may have to check back from time to time!! :-))
