There is only so much time in one day. As a mom, this time becomes even more scarce. There are chores to do, kids to cart around, a Lord to get to know, and dinners to plan. Why not choose to live each moment instead of worrying about the next?

Favorite Things

Since I have been having trouble coming up with words to write, I decided to put out a list.  Much easier and I don't have to worry about sentence structure, plot and story line too much.  Maybe you will get to  know me better.

My list of favorite things, in no particular order.

Flower: Red rose.  Simple, elegant, straightforward

Food:  One I don't cook myself.  Seriously, I love food and I love it even more if it is presented to me on a fancy plate from a tuxedo'd server.

Color: Red.  Not a huge surprise I'd imagine.

Art medium:  Clay.  I love the touchy-ness of it.  The squishy-ness of it.  the smell of it. And the fact that it can really be anything, not just a picture of anything.

Book: Toss up here.  While the Bible ranks, I think that is a cop out answer.  So, I would have to say "The Stand" by Stephen King.  The ultimate fictional story about good vs evil.  I have read it four times.

Drink: A good cup of coffee in the winter and a good cup of lemonade in the summer.

Thing I wish I could do more of:  Take naps.  L-O-V-E them!
 
Smell:  A new book

Vacation spot:  Mountains, the Rockies in particular.  Spectacular and one feels much closer to heaven being a mile above sea level.

Bible verse:  James 1:17  Every good and perfect gift is from above.

Song: Ave Maria

Sport: To watch-Baseball.  To play: hiking

Season:  Winter.  While the abundance of clothing and coats become a drag, the cleanness of  new-fallen snow is one of my favorite sights.  Also the promise of growth come spring fascinates me.

Blog:  Pioneer Woman.  Her energy is palpable.

Website for laughs: Television Without Pity.  A sarcastic look at the reality t-v that we all watch now-a-days but wish we could pull ourselves away from.  Makes me laugh out loud regularly.

Household Task:  laundry.  One can tell you did something when a basket of folded laundry is in front of their closet.  (I am talking about myself here.  I love seeing the fruits of my labor.)

Dessert: Cheesecake, New York style.  But I would not turn away any cheesecake that darkened my door.
