Talking with my friend, HW, today and we were discussing this list of things we would like to do. That got me thinking about a list of my favorite things. I wrote one in a notebook once. I still have the notebook and looked up the list. The original list was written in 1994. I was 14 at the time. Some of the things on the list are still some of my favorite things. So, here is some of the original list with some new things added, because hey, it's been a few years:
The smell of new pages in a brand new book.
The place where a book takes me.
A poem
A compliment
A smile
Cream Soda flavored Dum Dum lollipops
Jelly Belly Jelly Beans
Dawn & dusk
The colors in a sunrise
The colors in a sunset
Fresh cut flowers
Birds chirping
The warm sun on my face
The sky ten seconds before it rains
The rain on my windowpane
Soft, fuzzy blankets
Fluffy pillows
Soft, fuzzy stuffed animals
A good conversation
Making someone happy or making them feel better
"The Crow"
A purring cat
New fallen snow, before it is touched
A warm fire
Making snow angels
The sound of laughter
Gram's cookies
Pap's home cooked meals
Gram's gardens
Hugs
Catching snowflakes on my tongue
Music
Dancing
Just being held
My birthday
Other people's birthdays
Looking at the stars on a clear night
My friends
Long walks
The bright autumn leaves
Dancing or walking or kissing in the rain
Thunderstorms
People watching
Warm, breezy days
Curling up with someone to watch a movie
Cuddling with my cats
Having my hair played with
Oversized sweaters
Watching people open presents
Throwing surprise parties
Bonfires
Lounging in a hammock
