I had a great Friendship Friday post planned... but things I love instead

but I've been party planning, wrapping up the "work" month and listening to podcasts and here we are - 11:30.

So.

Let me rather do a quick one.

Lynette, you've given a ton of us something fun to blog about today. Thanks!

Okay, so things I love and things I don't.

I love...

1. sleep
2. jumping into my bed on a cold night because of my electric blanket
3. Joko tea and when I want to treat myself, vanilla tea
4. grey skies full of drama!
5. Jhb sunsets
6. gloves and scarves
7. scrappy friends (term from Friends - friends who won't let you go)
8. water with lemon
9. stationery!
10. gorgeous doors
11. chicken breyani

14. key changes in songs!
15. the beach
16. crisp, cold air on my face in winter
17. the exclamation mark
18. worship
19. the sound of rain
20. reading, esp. Irish fiction - I particularly like it when I get to that place in a book and then it's "fend for yourself" time because I'm not putting this book down!
21. the internet
22. when I'm coaching or assessing at church and I ask the right question and people have that "OH MY WORD" moment = priceless
23. I like having those moments too :)
24. connecting with friends
25. people who care
26. finding the perfect-sized mug for my tea and coffee (they're different)

37. banging on and on about my passions :)
38. taking a photo and finding out it is exactly as I saw it in real life
39. the vibe of cities
40. beautiful light 
41. shadows
42. people who aren't afraid to be vulnerable
43. people who embrace their imperfections

 

Things I don't love

1. waking up in the cold - brrrr
2. TRAFFIC
3. driving more than 30 minutes
4. mean girls
5. rude kids
6. when my brain goes overboard about nonsense
7. how I have to work at my confidence after that dreadful year
8. peas
9. watermelon
10. parents who don't RSVP
11. people who butcher the poor apostrophe, their/ they're and there, and your/ you're  
12. Twitter!

As you can see, I can go on forever. But that's enough for now!

What do you love and what don't you love?

PS obviously I love God, D, the kids, etc. That's a given.
