the unconditional love of my God. No matter what kind of person I have been on any given day, I know He is beside me good or bad. I have no fear for I know He will take care of me and those I love.
the beauty of the earth in all its forms. My hope is that we be the caretakers God intended us to be.
over 40 years with a man who can still make me laugh, surprise me and fill my heart with the same passionate love from that first date.
the continued good health in body, mind and spirit of my family especially in the midst of this seemingly unending pandemic.
memories of a 60+ years life to remember and share.
being able to watch my sons become the adults I knew they would be with good, kind, loving hearts and the courage to pursue their dreams even when I do not understand them at times.
seeing that my sons have strong, independent women in their lives who love them almost as much as their mother does.
parents who taught me about romantic love between soul mates, the strength of a unified family who can get through any adversity and the belief that it is what is inside a person that is most important.
continuing to hope that those I have been separated from over the years for whatever reason will reach out so we can reconnect.
the appreciation of the small things in life--hearing the coo of the morning doves, watching mares graze in the field, the smell of freshly mowed grass, the taste of hot orange tea in my nanny's teacup on a rainy morning, the touch of my husband's hand when we are out for a walk, the cuddles and purrs from my cat on a down day.
good food on the table, a roof over our heads, a comfortable secure retirement life.
time to pursue pasttimes, travel with my husband and just enjoy day to day living without the rush of time.
books that you hold in your hands, turn the pages and appreciate the beauty of how they look; music of all genres that lift you up or calm you down and art in all mediums that makes you wish you had just a small percentage of the talent the artists have.
being a cat mom and a dog & cat grandma.
the ability to appreciate the positives in my life especially on days when there seems to be more negatives.
Beautiful and touching. You've covered everything in my own life, every room of it, and reminded me of the things I've forgotten to pay attention to.
ReplyDeleteWith the way things have gone in the country and world this past year or so, I find it is important to my mental health to focus on what's good in my life. Too many focus on what's wrong. This list gives me hope for the future.
