- God. This one should be self-explanatory. He created me, so I wouldn’t be here without him.
- Brenton. I love my husband so much.
- Sunshine. If I spend too much time inside, I start to get depressed. I need my sunshine.
- Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Tea, elevenses, brunch etc. I have hyperinsulinemia/hypoglycemia. I get to eat about every two hours. Unfortunately it can’t always be chocolate.
- Candles. I have always been fascinated by fire. I like it when my house smells good. Right now it smells like garlic–from lunch, not from candles. I have been known to buy a lemon scented candle so the house *smells* clean.
- Tea. I drink tea every day. It’s healthy and a good alternative to water when I want some flavor. My latest kick has been spearmint.
- HUGS. Lots and lots of hugs and then a few more on top of that.
- Prayer. Couldn’t we all use a little more prayer?
- Oatmeal. Going along with #4, I eat oatmeal for breakfast every morning. I don’t just eat oatmeal though, I have steel cut oats. They have lots of fiber and last a long time without me having a blood sugar crash. When mixed with butter and raisins…mmmm….
- E-mail. Well, I can go a few days without e-mail or the internet, but with my friends and family spread so far out, I find that the best way to keep in touch is electronically.
- Books. I am always a little sad to read the statistics on the number of people who read regularly. I always have my limit of books checked out from the library, and I even read most of them. I find reading to be a great way to slow down in the evening before bed–I try to avoid fiction books right before bed because I tend to stay up all night to finish the book.
- Purpose. This is one of those big words in the English language, but I need a purpose for each day. To be happy, I have to live my life on purpose. Otherwise I just flounder.
- Flowers. When I am rich, I will have fresh flowers (cut from my own garden or greenhouse) every day. For now, I walk over and pick the daisies out of the empty lots next door.

What a lovely TT list. And I eat oatmeal for breakfast most days too, although I prefer blueberries…
I read constantly too. It amazes me how many people just about never read. And I am quite grateful that my husband’s reading habits are as intense as my own.
You know, those wild daisies can be some of the most beautiful flowers around. If you do have the expensive ones everyday someday you will somehow long for these days of picking fresh out of the lot next door! Funny how life works like that.
Sunshine! Ah yes! I’m the same way – needing the Sun. And hugs! ((()))
In your current crazy life, don’ forget these things. They will keep you sane.
