Oh those were fabulous! I think I got a natural high from just reading this list and thinking about each as I read through :) Thank you for sending thoughts of the sun and beach my way... :)
Great list. Things I hadn't thought about in years. I may decide to borrow this for a post.
Sandy – I’m glad you enjoyed it, and I’m happy to pass along sunny beach thoughts whenever. Molly and I enjoyed our outing at Dog Beach yesterday. It's a good thing we did so because it's supposed to be foggy and cooler today with drizzles tomorrow.
Eve – No need to “borrow” anything. This list is out there to pass along as you wish. I can only take credit for the last 3 entries. Feel free to copy, paste, and add your own ideas … post it and encourage others to pass it along as well. We can all use “lifts” like this, right?
I hope you’re both having a delightful day and a wonderful week!
Hugs and blessings,
I'd have to say reading inspiring blogs (such as this one) gives me a natural high.
Karen – What a thoughtful comment to leave behind. I appreciate it all the more today since I’ve been feeling just a wee bit guilty about spending so little time online of late. I’m happy to know you find what I post “inspiring” … in fact, there’s a huge smile on my face and warmth in my heart right now.
I hope your fiction writing is going well and fully intend to get over to check out your blog today since I think I missed it yesterday. In the afternoon my computer got too slow as McAfee updated my security software. I don’t know why it took so long, but I was most frustrated!
Hugs and blessings,
Hey, finally getting around to thank you for this! A new blog game could be, "Pass The Post"! A neat idea where everyone adds something. It could be then copied and pasted at one site so people could check back and see the list grow!
MoI – Now that’s an idea worth entertaining and milking for all it’s worth when “inspiration” fails. LOL
Actually I’ve enjoyed returning to this list periodically myself because it’s a lovely way to take care of ourselves … giving ourselves permission to relax and enjoy the delightful moments along the way in the midst of our busy lives … so thanks again for sharing.
Hugs and blessings,
