Some Favorites

I'm so grateful, because as I write about some of my favorite things in life, I can also say that I've gotten to experience all of these today. So rare! Or maybe it's just rare that I acknowledge the everyday blessings. Anyway, here is my list of some favorites.




  • Thunderstorms. Sound, sight, smell, life-giving moisture. Love.
  • Seeing one of my children experience a victory over an obstacle or a milestone. Calvin has been terrified of swimming. He has flotation devices which make him perfectly safe, but he always hangs on to someone's neck for dear life and won't let go. Today, he just starts jumping off the step into the pool, going all the way under the water and loves it!
  • I have to go back to the first one, because massive lightning just lit up the entire sky in front of me; the thunder was so loud that it shook the house. Incredible. (I also had to go check in my 3-year-old who I just put to bed to make sure he wasn't traumatized by the storm.)
  • I also have to add to this list a slew of things I like to do during a thunderstorm: drink a hot beverage, get under a blanket, read a good book, write a blog, watch a basketball game on TV or a good movie with my sweetie, listen to the rain, play games with family, order pizza, take a bubble bath, stay inside (or on the porch) and NOT drive in the rain, ever. (I have a lot to do when there's a thunderstorm...too bad they don't occur more frequently.)
  • Spend time with friends and family. Yes, my love language is quality time.
  • Watching a sporting event when I can't decide who I want to win, because I love both teams so much. It's so much better than being indifferent because I don't like either team or watching a game I don't care about. I love the Spurs and always have, but now I am also a Kevin Durant fan. Who to cheer for?!
  • Good food that reminds me of my childhood. My dinner consisted of chicken fried steak, macaroni and cheese and fried okra. Delish.
  • Peace that surpasses understanding, logic and anything outside of direct provision from God.
Life is good.
