Raindrops on roses…

are pretty, but they don’t really do a whole lot for me. Neither do whiskers on kittens. After reading Stacy’s blog last night, I decided to come up with a little list of a few of my own favorite things. Here goes…

  • Brach’s Conversation hearts (fresh in my mind because I just bought a bag from Target today)
  • Brand-new books
  • A newly discovered author
  • Baby smiles
  • Autumn colors
  • Planning for vacation
  • People who know when to stop talking
  • Pick-your-own produce
  • Clever come-backs
  • Libraries
  • Bookstores
  • Homemade chocolate chip cookies
  • Unexpected bursts of color
  • Twilight time
  • Clear skies
  • The smell of coffee (but not the taste)
  • Fish Tacos
  • A kindred spirit
  • Cary Grant
  • Alfred Hitchcock movies
  • Unexpected words used in casual conversation
  • Good manners
  • Japanese gardens

    What about you??

Dueling Points of View

In honor of the day, I nearly reposted this entire story. I had no memory of writing it the first time and only realized I had when I was typing a label for this post and I already had one that matched. Egad! That was only a few months ago. And I pride myself on my memory.

What food is associated with improving memory? Dark chocolate? I vaguely remember having read that somewhere. I’m on it.
