I was inspired by a post earlier this month by Terje at “Just for a Month.” She wrote 50 good things because she was turning 50. I’ll be turning 64 this year, so I wrote 64 good things.
Lots and lots of good things! I love the juxtaposition of 35 and 36 – healthy eating and ice cream with caramel sauce and praline pecans. Also, Joshua trees. I love Joshua trees too.
Whitney, I noticed that too. Probably thinking of healthy eating made me also think of some of the unhealthy foods I’ve eaten lately and I don’t want to give them up. Thank you for visiting.
I love this list and was moved to tears seeing my name on it. I do not for one minute take my friends in these writing communities for granted. I know you shared that Joshua Tree photo just for me. đŸ˜‰
Ah, yes! Thank you for always being here, my friend.
What an incredible list! I may have to attempt this, Denise. Wait – am I on this list? I will believe I am the only Maureen you know – hahaha There are so many things on this list that would be on mine. I love the photos – that gorgeous rug and the Joshua trees, especially! Loved this, Denise!
Yes, that is you, Maureen! I’ll look forward to reading your good things list. It was fun to write. It was just a stream-of-conscious writing whatever I thought of at the time.
I love your list of 64 good things. It fed my soul. I will definitely give this a try.
