Fantastic list – thank you! A beautiful way to start my Sunday.
Money is your trustworthy friend! Trust it when there’s no one to trust including yourself. That’s what life has tought me..
I think I have to get on a lot of these things. Sometime soon.
I am happy to say that “wrote your name in wet cement” is the only one I’ve never done that I don’t do pretty much on a regular basis.:oD Nice list! :oD
Though I haven’t been in a great mood – how could you when you’re away from Texas. Admittedly I was surprised I frequently do a large % of these.
I cook for myself most nights, I always sing at the top of my lungs, I call people all the time to say hi (Hey, I miss my Texas peeps), etc…
Thanks for sharing this list.
And I’ll share this: You know when you’ve kissed too much when the lights come on and the poor girl/woman (whatever vernacular you want) has a raw spot on her chin from your whiskers :) Course, that’s been awhile.
Wow, minus the wet cement and sore-lip kissing (recent break-up; not going to be back in the smoochin’ saddle for a while), I do all of these daily or weekly. Didn’t realize how good I have it! Thanks for the shot of inspiration.
it seems that my subtle ABC list was very subtle so far no one has noticed that the list is a.b.c :)
it’s great to know so many of you take time to enjoy the little things
