Every so often, I am in the mood to make a list. Favorite people would be a dicey thing here, lest I inadvertently leave someone out, and he/she gets all butt-hurt, which would not be my intention. I have found the same to be true when I make a list of favourite places- someone will come on and say: “Hey, YOU LEFT OUT ……..!!!”
I will go with things, and if I left out your fave, make your own list. LOL
Here goes, in no particular order:
1.Sunrise
2. Blueberries in summer
3. Apple cider in autumn
4. Mountains
5. Smiles
6. The sound of children playing happily
7. The ocean
8. Snow at Christmas
9. Hiking
10. Lean meat
11. Hummus
12. Nose rings or nose studs, on young women
13. Dachshunds
14. Joyous laughter

Good Broadway musicals would probably make a longer list. I am indeed grateful for many things, including the angel on my shoulder.

Great list, Gary! Rottweilers are my favorite dog breed! You can probably tell from my Rottweiler posts on Facebook now and then lol. I miss my girl. She was the sweetest Rottweiler! Dachshunds are gorgeous, too! I post those on Facebook now and then, too. I love the beach of course and I’d love to take a road trip across the USA someday. I’d eat lasagna everyday if I could lol. Could you come up with 50 things you dislike? I think that would be interesting to read as well! 🙂

I like the variety form of a favorites list, like you have done. When I am journalling, sometimes I just make lists of 30 things, like 30 things I am thankful for (gratitude list in Recovery parlance) or 30 ways I could improve my communication skills. And the person who taught me this said, “Do 20-30 without thinking, then throw away the first 10, because the later ones will ring more true. I am taking a journalling course this fall semester, so maybe after that has started I will learn more ways to get to the “honest” writings.
