Food for My Soul
December 31, 2007
The coo of a baby
The laugh of a child
Willi’s corny jokes
Good smells coming from the kitchen
A window over the sink
Birds on the feeder
A fire in the fireplace
Music. Lots of it.
Sunshine
Sarah’s smile
Josh’s hug
A good children’s book
Extra bold roast. Steaming hot.
Snow. Lots of it.
A snowblower
A job well done
Weekends
Bare feet in green grass
Fall leaves
Driving South
Friends
Crayons. A full box.
New shoes
Garcia ties
Soft gentle rain
Cool sheets
A soft kiss on the back of the neck
Rememberings
What is food for your soul?
Thanks to Northwest Ladybug for this wonderful idea…

We must be soul mates because I could just duplicate this list inserting my own family names!

Grandkids singing with the radio

I wish we had snow, and a fireplace. I’ll add football, and lasagna to the list.

Crookedeyebrow – that and a nice clean sheet of white paper!
CP – Yes you did! I’m still laughing. At least you didn’t say Huckabee. Maybe there is still hope for you!
I’ve had banana sandwiches, but never with Peanut Butter. I’ll have to give that a try.
Rain – Thank you! I’m looking forward to a good year, and for you and yours also.
Katy! Sand between the toes – I forgot that one. The best to you and your family also.
Corky – Football – how could I forget the food for Willi’s soul? And lasagna…that was our dinner Christmas Eve. One of my favorites, too. That and Ovaltine.

You know the old standbys…raindrops on roses, warm woolen mittens. I like gray days in November, a crisp blue sky in June or September, a gentle spring rain, a summer thunderstorm, family, friends, cream cheese, the smell of Lilies of the Valley, new beginnings, fresh baked bread, the squeaky sand at the Dunes, learning new stuff, finishing a project, laughing, and making people laugh.

Such a beautiful list. I wish you a very Happy New Year.

Nice list. It is filled with lots of meaning.
Happy New Year.

Dilling – I should have added your dog walks. They are one of my favorite things. I also like the smell of orange blossoms. We had a mock orange tree outside our window back in the day and it was heavenly. As for Angel from Montgomery, I couldn’t agree more. But I am particularly fond of John Prine. Nice list. Another kindred spirit.
Mjd – Summer thunderstorms! I forgot about that and will whole heartedly agree, but only if I can still have my electricity afterward. And it is a good thing you like Lily of the Valley since you have so many. Fresh baked bread – another good one! I like laughing, too. And listening to other people laugh, like you.
Nessa – Happy New Year to you also!
Daddy D – Lots of nourishment in that list. Happy New Year!

Food for my soul…
A good book
A jigsaw Puzzle, the full set
Great music
Happy Laughing family
The smell of the Beach’
The feel of warm water
Reminisce of great times
Feeling thankful for being alive, every single day is a bonus since the brush with death
The hugg from a loved one
The knowing that you are loved
A good seafood dish…
With some refreshing juice.
Helping others, my patients and knowing I have given my all.
