I’ve come in a bit late, but this is my list:
copper-beach trees
elderly couples holding hands
happy smiles
primroses
conkers or Morris Minors (it’s an old British car) – not sure which of those makes me smile the most, so I put them both in.

I’ve come to the conclusion that romantic love isn’t what you need to have to endure long years together. I think it’s friendship and companionship because there comes a time as folks get older that those things feel far more important than the other. At least that’s what I observe in the folks around me who are always holding hands and putting their arms around each other. But then it may all depend on the persons. Who knows?

Okay, testing over. I cannot remember what I said yesterday (in case my post miraculously appears) but today my five best things are:
cycling against the wind
cycling with the wind behind me
dogs playing
a cat purring
a tree – any tree, anywhere.
these exercises (I know this is number six, my bonus, for free) 😄

Ooo…trees! Almost my favorite things on earth. Did you know they each have their own sound? You can learn the difference between them by listening to their leaves rustle in the wind. 😀

I will be a listening more closely from now on to their leafy songs. 😎

The beach when it’s overcast… Intriguing. Why overcast, Judie? (I’m snoopy this way! 😉 )

I have photosensitivity due to the migraines, calensaiel. Bright sun anywhere, especially reflecting off water, can trigger them. When I went to the Dominican Republic, it rained every afternoon. As people were coming off the beach, I was going into the water!

That sounds really challenging, Judie. But I’m guessing you know all the ins and outs of treating them by heart now.
