- warm not cold
- funny words and sounds
- giggle-worthy moments even when I don't know what made them giggle-worthy
- guy friends who can be friends without needing to be anything else
- girl friends who know how to be okay with me whether I am ready to laugh or cry
- my sister being my best friend
- my family being who they are to me
- when clouds make interesting shapes against a really blue sky
- thunderstorms when I am cuddled up snug in bed
- dancing and dancing and dancing
- high-heeled shoes that make me feel tall and striking
- a really good lip gloss (cause it makes me feel girly!)
- my favorite silly tv shows all lined up to watch when I don't want to have serious thoughts
- good home food (chicken and stews and fresh cornbread)
- good fast food (burgers and fries and shakes)
- knowing where I am & how to get where I want to go
- looking at the mountains
- that big relief I feel when something I was worried about turns out okay
- knowing that, no matter what, I have some people who genuinely love and care about me
- feeling 20 when I am almost 50
- chewing crushed ice pieces (don't ask)
- my puppy, Rags, when she is looking at me like I'm the greatest
- solitude when I need it
- noise when I need it
- fresh pancakes with a cold glass of milk
- those chicken wings from Walmart with some bleu cheese dressing
- a really (scary) book - because I know it's just fiction!
- Getting really still and quiet & knowing that God hears me
Peace
