My Favorite Sounds

Here's a fun thing to do...(yes, it's my day off and I'm having a great day!)

Think about your day and what you encountered...be silent and listen. What did you hear? Then make a list of your favorites...what made you smile. these are my favorite sounds...

my husband's voice
canning jar lids popping
our church organ (especially when Tim is playing Bach or A Mighty Fortress)
a hummingbird buzzing
a lawnmower
a river rushing
thunder
the ocean
locusts and crickets chirping
mockingbirds pretending they're something they're not :)
steel drums
a fire popping
the end of a wet towel making contact with a friend's rear end ha!
The Stones
...and much more

A day off and alone is precious in the midst of life, work, relationship and expectations. I'm so appreciative of these moments...time to be be quiet and productive in the way I like best...sound selfish? Maybe. But it's a blessing I will never take for granted. Even if I had decided to sleep this day away, it would be the way I had decided to spend it and that's okay too. Love every moment!!
