Thursday 13- these are a few of my favorite thing ..(So many but here are the biggees)

1- rain - glorious rain, blowing rain, light rain any kind.I love the fresh nourishment

2-Sun - not blinding bright humid sun, but light , leading my way(I lived for years where skys were always dark)

3-Trees - for as long as I could remember trees were my friend. They held my swing and tire as achild, my hammock later and now provide raw unparalleled beauty


4-Flowers - wild flowers, fist full, domestic flowers vases throughout the house. I see beauty everywhere

5- Mountains- I'm from the mountain state of Wva and I find them  comforting and sheltering.

6- streams , rivers rather than big bodies of water. Floating down them, I think a river cruise would be the perfect relaxation

7- the moon this week has been a silver orb of guidance for me

8-My granddaughter's voice - not now but when she was younger she had a lilting  uplifting joy in everything

9- my pets - some favorites gone ahead but others here love me as well, maybe not to their degree but I leaned what real companionship and devotion was.

10- Helping others especially children,. This has been my work for nearly 50 years in some capacity or another . It  is what I'm born to do . I am about to begin a new job helping children's families  get back on their feet.

11-Early morning its quietude

12-birds. I have a plethora of cardinals but am fascinated always by the songs of birds.

13-caring in any form. I have a card angel who sent me a book this week on my darkest of days,

just a few**
