I'm feeling blue, feeling mopey. My early Spring allergies have reared themselves into a cold. I attempted to make myself some chicken soup last night, but it's not the same as when someone else makes it and serves it up for you now is it?!
So in honor of me wanting to curl up and check out for a couple of days I'm going to share a few of my favorite things. This is also a little game that my daughter and I play at night when she needs a little help falling asleep. Enjoy~ Oh... please feel free to add your own in the comments. If you've never left a comment before it's easy, the system just wants you to verify a code so that the crazy virtual spammers can't leave weird crud on my blog.
- Daffodils... lots of them clustered together
- Late afternoon at Lake Tahoe in August
- Finishing my tax return
- Taking the scenic route
- Walking through the forest at Camp Cispus
- Dancing with my family on a Sunday morning

....these are a few of my favorite it things...
Good ones, Krista! Here are some of mine...
1) Seeing Kindergarteners walking single file, they are so cute and tiny!
2) Finding cash in a coat pocket
3) Family vacations
4) "no new messages" when you've played hooky from work for a few hrs
5) The thrill of a good ski run
6) Baby pictures

1. seeing a red cardinal bird.
2. the lightning show of an approaching storm.
3. the adventure of travel

A few more:
1. Early dawn when you're tent camping
2. The register giving you a bigger discount than what the tag reads
3. Laughing with my sister
4. Two-toned Dahlias
p.s. Krista- Get well soon. I went to Camp Cispus as a 6th grader many years ago and was a counselor there in high school. Great place!

One of my favorite things is chicken soup, whether I'm sick or not. One of my other favorite things is my mother. Because when her forty-something baby gets a cold, she makes me chicken soup.

and here are a few of my favorite things:
how a puppy's pink tummy feels, the fragrance of dinner cooking as you walk in the door, sunlight on a blue birds back; licking the beaters of 7 minute frosting (takes you back, doesn't it) remember: God has a plan.
