I came across a post this morning on a blog that I follow called Making Things Happen – and then proceeded to poach the graphics and twist the idea a bit for the weekend. (I wasn’t looking to “get fired up” this morning.) What was a bit of a head scratcher is that I had to work to get to 10. (There’s a message to me in that pondering as well.) Here’s my top 10. Your top three would be???

- getting outside of my own head
- hugs
Happy weekend David…
Great list Mimi…esp like afternoon nap when it’s raining outside (or not raining for that matter). Have a good weekend.
Love your list
Mine would be:
* Making the effort to have a “high tea” even though it was just for my friend and I.
* Time spent with my neighbours dog (that I am looking after while they are away). She is 16yo, and not far from doggy heaven. Every moment spent with her is precious.
* Time spent with my new camera.
Great list Meg. (I actually neglected from gadget soothing items. Adds for a future list)
A walk along the beach, any beach
Thanksgiving dinners with the family
A great belly laugh……where it hurts
Great list!
Totally agree…the beach is always the go-to place to soothe my soul : )
My list would be as such:
Falling asleep in a hammock by the ocean
Listening to instrumental scores
Hearing the words “I love you”
Great list. Love the “hammock by the ocean” – soothed already.
reading 1 and 10 just soothed my soul ^-^
Ahhh, so you noticed my bookends (those closest to heart). Nice catch. Thanks Stephy!
The page turner and a lazy Sunday afternoon sound great to me after a hectic week.
Works for me….:)
#5,6 (its the sweet mountain air that goes straight to the soul), and 7 – then toss in some hugs from my family, good coffee, and some good music. Have a great day, Dave.
Sounds great LaDona. Have a good weekend.
I especially enjoyed #’s 1 and 10.
Yes, my favs!
hugs, my back yard, the moment I realize the topic for my next blog, seeing someone have an aha moment and the end of day when I finally put my feet up.
Good list!
AW! you’re my number 1 too Daddy.
