Happiness is flowers. After some pretty depressing posts, here’s something that brightens up my day.
I got this bunch of flowers—so sad I forgot the name—from Trader Joe’s for $1.99 on Sunday. They’ve bloomed brighter and brighter each day.
They light up our room and make me smile.
During the homily, the priest talked about some of the things my uncle loved. A few of the things caught me by surprise and it made me wonder if people know what I love.
I LOVE:
Books and libraries, fiction
Looking at great art, going to museums
Getting mail—the good kind, not bills or credit card promotions
My mom’s cooking. She cooks with a lot of fresh vegetables. Her food is healthy and good for you. But I especially love her lumpia. It’s the BEST. During the holidays, I could eat one after another, with big scoops of my aunt’s spinach dip. Amazing!
Oysters, foie gras, french fries, ice-cream cake, milk chocolate
Travelling, exploring, hiking
The Bay Area, NYC, Burning Man, Palm Springs
When others do the cooking
Pink flowers of all kinds—roses, carnations, whatever
Restaurants, wine tasting, happy hour, brunch
Steam rooms
Dresses
My amazing family and friends
What do you love? Do people know?
