Things I like

[lighter]

Playing in the waves at the beach with my kids on a red flad day.

Being present in the moment.

Holding hands.

Trying to stand when the water's trying to turn my knees inside out, and the waves sometimes crash down from above at great speeds.

Getting flipped around and under every once in a while.

Sometimes taking a nose full of water the wrong way.

Helping each other back up in time to face the next wave.

Sort of like real life: )

Mr. Clean - the yellow formula.  Love the smell.

Taking up the tradition of making homeade ice cream and chocolate sauce with my children.

I remember making ice cream with a hand churn as a child with my own Grandparents.

There's nothing like sitting down to a big bowl of fresh made vanilla custard and goopy chocolate sauce with the consistency of carmel.... both my Grandmother's recipes.

Doing yard work.  Painting rocks.  Yes I pain rocks.  Lady bugs, lizards, whatever I can draw.  Painting the porch.  Getting the pool already to go.  A 92 degree day and everything done.   The house clean.  The freezer full.

The porch paint peels.  The pool has a defect liner, splits, 3000 gallons of water bursting out.  The yard underwater and heading towards the neighbors yard.  The freezer stop blowing. 

The water stops just short of the neighbors yard.  It's so hot it dry's up.  A punch to the freezer starts it working. The paint peels are only in the front not the back and in just spots.  The pool company is going to repair. 

Lots of laughter over all this.........and the best.......A white dove flys on the roof of my house right above where we were sitting.
He stayed just Chillin Out ............

Peace.

That products on grocery shelves are usually arranged by category and then alphabetically.  Adopting a similar system in my own kitchen.

Uncluttered drawers, closets, storage areas.

Amazement at finding my father's fig tree fairly doubled in size......

I stopped counting figs when I got to 900.

Whoo hoo!

As I've started respecting myself more - I'm surprised that my likes have changed alot.  Anyone else noticed this? Its like I feel less concerned with what others might "like" and I'm being (happily) selfish.   

[Meh]

I like the saying:  "Keep my eye on the prize" when everything around me is going to hell and IS bad, I focus and say this phrase.

I like the Twilight movies, Not a twi-hard but I still like em.

I like movie theaters more then I ever have before. Going to some place where I can forget about my problems for two hours.
Especially the Xena-warrior princess type movies like Prince of Persia.

A little bit of controlled escapism. It keeps me sane.

Ok, in the past I wanted to be Xena the warrior princess. I bet this is common with daughters of Nar-mothers. We all want to be warrior princesses right?

When my 3 year old gets into my make-up.  Hysterical!

When the sun sets just behind the horizon.

My lasagna recipe.

Feeling truly loved.

This morning, I saw the blazing morning sun rising, there were 4 baby birds whose little fluffy feathers lit up in a bright halo effect around them as their new little fluffy feathers caught the light.

Homeade ice cream using my Grandparent's recipe.

Free Internet SkyRadio fm World Music - I like it for a change of pace.  I think it's the 2010 version of Muzak  ...

Hi Mo2,

Getting back to your father's fig tree.  Did you ever try them dusted with a smidge of  Curry (or to taste) after you heat them  in a tiny little bit water until nice and warm throughout?

No, teartracks.

The only thing I did this year is make beautiful fruit cobblers.

I just love cobber: )
