One of the blogs I have recently started reading had a post up the other day that for some reason has been a thought on my mind since I read it. The idea (if you don't read the actual blog from them) is this
"...I have a theory that everyone has Five Things that they feel strongly that every other human should like, or at least, appreciate. These are fundamental things that bring universal joy. If someone expresses that they don't like or appreciate even one of the items on my list, I begin to question their very humanity."--Walker from It's Almost Naptime (he's the husband.)
People left comments noting many different things(food, to places, to noises, to people etc.) but I can't leave it at just five...so I've decided to make my own version...so here goes. Leave your thoughts as well if you'd like...all 3 of you who read my humble will place in space that sits for weeks at a time with no thought or attention and then has an onslaught of random posts.
(because its my blog and I can, thankyouverymuch)
Food.
1. Monster Cookies
2. My mom's mac and cheese
3. A PBJ made with love
4. Dr. Pepper and/or Sweet Tea...It's not fair to discriminate one against the other for a place in the 5.)
5. homemade icecream
Noises.
1. waves hitting the beach or a dock
2. baby giggles
3. Christmas carols/hymns at the Christmas Candlelight service
4. belly laughs
5. a baseball hitting the metal bat
Feelings.
1. going to the mailbox and having real mail...that's not bills. or coupons
2. sitting in the sunshine after being at the pool/lake/body of water
3. contentment after a fun night with family or friends
4. the thrill of a rollercoaster
5. bundling up after a cold day or during a thunderstorm
Smells.
1. the time just before or just after it rains
2. hardware stores
3. new crayons
4. laundry vent (that really clean smell...anyone else know what I'm talking about?)
5.coffee
I could probably go on and on, truth be told...but it was fun to make a list of some things that make me supremely happy...there are so many other things that I truly love and am so grateful to have in my little world
...I am so blessed.
