Killer Questions – Our Favorite Things (to be sung to the song from The Sound of Music)
Annette Dashofy - My cat. Foals (baby horses) and foals’ whinnies. Birdsong. Long naps. Mountains.
Heather Weidner -
- Puppies, good books, and warm fuzzy socks
- Cuddly sweaters, pizza, and not following clocks
- Family celebrations, road trips, and a pretty rainbow
- Beach life, dark chocolate, and fireflies that glow
- These are a few of my favorite things.
James M. Jackson - Being outside in nature tops the list; if inside, then in no particular order: reading, creative writing, and helping someone learn something.
Martha Reed - Great coffee. Visits to exotic places. Funny and engaging people. Golconda diamonds. Italian cream cake.
Sarah E. Burr - Aromatic candles, aromatherapy soaps, faux fur coats, doggie outfits, blue convertibles
Kait Carson - Fog, Cats and kittens, dogs and puppies, Chocolate Croissants made with dark chocolate, scuba diving, the sun on my shoulders.
Susan Van Kirk - books, jigsaw puzzles, grandchildren, time to read, writing “The End”
Elaine Douts - Maple cream on waffles on a cold winter’s day. Hot tub with a glass of cold Sauvignon Blanc, please. And a hot day on the beach, sleeping under the umbrella.
Margaret S. Hamilton - The smell of summer rain on hot asphalt, cuddling a standard poodle, daffodils tossing in the spring wind, the first lilacs, yellow and orange sugar maple leaves in the fall, the fresh smell of a live Christmas tree.
K.M. Rockwood - The smell of summer rain on hot asphalt, cuddling a standard poodle, daffodils tossing in the spring wind, the first lilacs, yellow and orange sugar maple leaves in the fall, the fresh smell of a live Christmas tree.
Korina Moss - My cat, jigsaw puzzles, the beginning of each season, road trips with my son, when it’s raining or snowing and I have no place to go, long morning coffee chats with my sister.
Lori Roberts Herbst - Rocky Mountain National Park. Each season there holds a unique beauty and peacefulness.
Grace Topping - Listening to audiobooks—while driving, cooking, doing housework, and at night when I can't sleep.
Shari Randall - Broadway musicals, powdered sugar crullers from Neil’s in Middletown, Connecticut, sharpened pencils, dahlias, dancing, books, books books!

ReplyDeleteAccomplishing something you didn’t think you could do.
ReplyDeleteI have always enjoyed listening to music. As a child, I took violin lessons. Even though I liked it I didn’t have the discipline to practice and stopped playing although I continued to listen,, especially to the violin.
As an adult, i had an opportunity to take lessons again and was willing to put the effort into working at it.
I had a teacher who was very encouraging and would give me pieces that I didn’t think I could play but learned to over time.
Reading, of course, concerts, listening to music, Taking walks and looking at places you see every day but now try to find something you never noticed before.
Going out to dinner with friends and enjoying the food and conversation. Eating at both long time favorites and also trying new places.
Seeing the first harbingers of spring-the little green shoots emerging from their long hibernation.
Snuggling under warm covers on a cold night when you know you don’t have to get up early the next morning.
Watching snow drifting down that you don’t have to shovel.
Just appreciating life and good friendships and relatives and being able to do what you want when we want.
We tend to take a lot for granted and don’t realize it until it’s gone.
