Hitting where I'm aiming
Cedar Point - especially those rollercoasters!
Watching a slow stream
Laughing 'til I cry
A hot mug of real coffee (None of that decaf crap!)
A cold mug of real beer (None of that 'light' crap!)
Inside jokes
Comfy clothes
Nature's beauty
Hearing a favorite song for the 1,000th time and still finding something new to like
Fishing
Family & friends
Watching the lightning and listening to the thunder of a not-too-distant storm
Martial arts films
Making and eating jerky
Puppies!
Soft, warm blankets
Smooth-sippin' bourbon
Campfires
Loud belching and farting - funny and such a relief!

Hot sauce
Fresh bread with a hard crust
Sexy perfume
Having the right tool for the job
My wife's cookies
Teaching somebody something new
A long, hot shower on a cold morning
Good music by talented musicians
Hugs
When two people are thinking alike
Getting e-mail from people I actually know instead of just Spam
Grilling outdoors
Combing the sand for seashells and cool rocks
A good, sharp knife
The smells of a holiday kitchen
Guitar music

A well-turned phrase
The imagination

Discovering something new that I really enjoy
Sharing my favorite things with others!
I'll second that! wonder what my staff would say if I came in today and told them they had to say something they were Thankful for???
ReplyDeletehahahaha... they would so hate me, the seed you have planted! :))
Neat list! I wish I could have the real coffee and not the de-caf crap, but I'm not allowed.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you're using that good sharp knife for slicing the bread and not for more devious means ;)
Kay: What can I say? I'm a gardener of the mind.
ReplyDeleteTalon: Yes, I probably should have made it clearer. My sharp knives are used for food-related purposes, cutting twine or occasionally carving wood. I never use them on people.
(That's what my chainsaw is for!)
super cool lists.
ReplyDeleteWow- I'm a fan of Robert Frost too!
ReplyDeleteI once did a 10 page ENL paper based on the very short poem, "Fire and Ice" for a Creative Writing course in college (A)
Ya like your list!
