Well 2012 has been full of, in my opinion, more than it's fair share of douchebaggery and WTFery. Thus, i was inspired not long ago to create this list of Things that DON't Suck:
pillows
manatees
rainbow suspenders
serendipity
lavender
harmonicas
remission
chaco tans
cold beer at the end of long, hot days
sipping quiet cups of coffee as the sun rises
catching lightning shows from the dry, cozy safety of your sofa
poetry
bicycles
nice cops
good samaritans
whirly-gigs and wind socks
legos (so long as you're not stepping on them)
the enthusiasm of six year olds
gardens, orchards, faeries, sprites & gnomes
the 80's (okay some of it sucked, but nothing day-glo, spandex and Strawberry Shortcake couldn't make up for)
tie-dye
moms

moms
soldiers coming home
licking the beaters, baking and stand mixers
whipped cream
chickens
stay at home dads
caregivers for elderly or people with special needs
911 dispatchers and nurses
Cookie Monster
Giant Palouse Earthworms
crushing golf balls at the driving range
boats
garage sales and thrift stores
tetherball and 4 square
live music and Pandora
hope and silver linings
artists, innovators and scientists
garden fresh and home-canned goodness
fruit rollups
smores and campfires
sleeping under the stars
frogs, doggies, turtles, birds, fuzzy caterpillars, etc.
a bunch more trite, cliche and or random, luscious stuff and things...
What's your list? I know it's hokey, but you won't regret reflecting on it for a bit. At least i didn't. (This'll prolly be a fairly regular installment.)

Loved it!!! So much to be thankful for. Did you notice? They are all little things. The big stuff isn't nearly as good as the little stuff - love that you have such an observant eye.
ReplyDeleteThe 80's. Oh, how I loved the 80's. Dire Staits alone made the 80's fantastic! And the big hair. Patterned sweaters! Pants cuffs rolled up! Polo cologne!
ReplyDeleteWhipped cream. I will never be thin because of whipped cream.
And I love lavender. Lavender must be what heaven smells like. :-)
