I believe in favorite things…
March 19, 2008
Somebody asked me the other day what my favorite things are…I sorta couldn’t answer articulately. So, of course, I’ve thought about it and decided to end my weeks-long blogging sabbatical by publishing my list:
-
my grandmother’s warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream melting on top
-
my mother’s spaghetti
-
ice, cold Diet Pepsi
-
the Esther story, the David story, the Paul story (I believe that girls rule, underdogs win, and that checkered pasts don’t trump revolutionary futures)
-
a good book (this really should be my number 1)
-
anything by candlelight
-
good music (classical, jazz, P&W, motown, stevie, donny, marvin, sam, luther, sarah, coltrane, miles, bach, vivaldi….)
-
love songs
-
naughty songs (notice this is NOT the same as raunchy or nasty)
-
looks that communicate everything
-
tulips
-
toddlers who smile at me
-
gmail
-
Spring and Autumn
-
black, fast cars
-
singing at the top of my lungs in the shower or in my car
-
TV shows that make me think (Frasier, the Golden Girls, Suze Orman, The Big Idea, Forensic Files)
-
people that can always make me laugh or piss me off (that means I care enough to get emotional)
-
GAP clothes
-
friendships where we can just pick up where we left off, no matter how much time has passed
-
the feeling i have right after getting my hair done
-
feeling like i’m the prettiest girl in the room
-
friendships where we can just talk about anything for long periods of time
-
friendships were we can just be silent together for long periods of time
-
metaphors and symbolism
-
beautiful architectural spaces
-
feeling like i’ve taught somebody something
-
ministry (but not church)
-
the library
-
finding money in my jeans pockets
What are your favorite things?
