What would you put on your list?
What a great list you have. I made one of these lists last year. It was a really valuable exercise for me- and I just enjoyed rereading my list again after reading your post- all those things are still very special to me. It's an important way to be grateful about the many good things in our life.
ReplyDeleteHere's my list:

That's a great list! I'll have to give this a try, but I know a few of the things that immediately come to mind are:
ReplyDeleteFurbabies
Birdsong
Rain
Smiles from strangers
Laughter
I should do a similar post - your list made me happy and smile as well, especially when I saw ---- ". Dolce & Gabanna Light Blue", my new favorite as well.
ReplyDeleteA lot of your list looks like the same thing that my list would look like. We have a lot of the same likes. I would have to say at the top of my list is the silence that comes when everyone is not home, and I am alone.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list--and idea! I could use more positive thinking in my life. I've started thinking of one or two things I'm grateful for each day and making note of them. Some days it's easier than others. Today I am grateful for my coworkers and jelly bellies.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. Today is also a day when I could really used something like this...funny how things like that happen, uh?!
ReplyDeleteMany of the items on your list would be on mine...some exactly the same, such as newborn babies, Bach and swimming pools for example, some in variation, such as my homemade ice cream would have homemade buterscotch sauce :o).
I'm going to work on my list!
I'd have to put this post on my list! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou KNOW I love this cause it's so close to art journaling. You love sarcasm, too? It's an art form!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful idea, Lisa. Such wonderful things on there. I love that you have coffee and champagne on there and of course books!

ReplyDeleteI love the comments you have for this post! It looks like people read all 100, woohoo.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever think you and I would have this special connection, that's lasted for so long? One of my fondest Omaha memories is our evening on my deck... and happy hour. OH... how about the first month your joined us for book club and we didn't discuss the book :)
Hugs, Mari
A few things I would list...
ReplyDeletemy sons
my family
books
my cats
my favorite tv shows
history
It would take me forever to come with an entire list. Yours is great, by the way!
Check your 'other' messages on Facebook. I just sent you one and I didn't want to pay a dollar to have it delivered to your main inbox (are they serious!?).
I might have to do this. So much of what you listed made me feel all warm and snuggly.
ReplyDeleteThat project sounds awesome! And you made a great list!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! Now I want to do this! And making it into a poster looks like it would be fun, too.
ReplyDeleteLoving this list and the whole emotion behind it!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat list, Lisa! I just posted my 100 Things I Love a few minutes ago. After reading yours, I cannot believe I forgot lavender on my list!!!! I also love the sound of mourning doves.. so sad but soothing and peaceful at the same time, right? Gotta love cookie dough and NPR, too. :)
