Happy Lists

C'mon, I know Mary isn't the only songwriter out there! But thanks, Mary.... I loved it!

Let's see, how about this week.... let's do something easy.



Take the letters of your name (first, middle, last -- you decide) and make a list of some things you like. Each entry can be one word or as many words as you want. You can list foods, activities, any combination of things (or ideas, or people) that grab your fancy or make you smile.

Shouldn't take you long, and since it's easy, maybe I'll be able to tell if we still have an audience. Besides Mary, that is : )

Here is a quick example:

BLOGMARM
B - Babies, and particularly little grandbaby David, who ALWAYS makes us smile.
L - Leisure time to just enjoy home, hearth and loved ones.
O- Open books: Bible, hymnals, fresh blank notebooks.
G- Good friends.
M- My hard-working husband.
A- All my precious family.
R- Roses, and all perky, colorful flowers.
M- Most of the items pictured above (especially the chocolate ones).

Wait! I need more letters.....(and by the way, it's completely okay to use something someone else mentioned. I don't have a monopoly on chocolate. Or babies : )

Cats that snuggle me while I study.
Autumn leaves in brilliant colors.
Trees to climb and see the world from a new perspective.
Horses that God created for me to enjoy.
Easter, when our family gets to dye eggs and celebrate Christ's resurrection!
Rainbows that remind me of God's promises.
Irises that bloom in our front yard singing of their creator.
Nests with little birdie eggs and the miracle of life.
Everyone God has put in my life to love me and help me along. :)
