It’s been a while since I did a list. I hope you enjoy this one.
- That a pet softens a household. I recommend having more than one because they, like us, need company.
- That the only truly bad run is the one that didn’t happen. Except where a run turned into a walk. Walks are equally good.
- That working towards something that seems unlikely or impossible is a great way to live.
- That no one loves me more than my mom and dad. No one.
- That no one has the power to hurt me more than my mom and dad. No one.
- That faith that causes us to judge others is misguided. And yes, I do recognize the judgment in that very statement.
- That a thoughtful note is a better gift than anything that can be purchased. Such a note is personal and increases in value over time.
- That travel is worth every penny. That includes international travel, domestic travel, or travel an hour away to a neighboring town.
- That it’s important to have six months’ to a year’s worth of cash readily available in case something goes wildly wrong.
- That the best friends are those who pick up the next conversation like no time has passed, regardless of how much actually has.
- That everyone needs to hear that they are doing a good job.
- That contacting a teacher from years back to tell her what a difference she made is time well spent. Regular communication with that teacher is even better.
- That it is possible to have too much stuff. Even books. The book part is a new belief for me.
- That time spent writing, whether it’s journaling, blogging, writing for publication, or writing random poems and words for kicks, is time well spent. It’s therapeutic even.
- That doing life with someone isn’t always easy, but it is always worthwhile.
- That sunflowers are the most beautiful flower, especially the little, lone random one that bloomed after a field of them were planted with care by a most gentle heart.
Thanks for #9
Was #16 the surprise??
Hi! No. It was a surprise but not “the” surprise. “The” surprise was a TV.
