Time for my self, to sit on my pourch and watch the birds and squirrels, drink my coffee, and not have to talk to anyone for atleast 5 minutes. What a stress reliever that is.

God is 1st on my list. HE gives me my all!!!! Freedom! God bless our troups! 3rd: books. Real books. Not the electronic things, but real, page turning, library books. I love the way a library smells when you enter... the smell of books that have been loved, read, cherished. I love to be in the kitchen also. I can bake, cook and whip up something in no time flat, and have the "Mae West" sized body to prove it. The list is endless to me. I never get bored, hate shopping [unless I am in any fabric store], and love life. If I were to retire, since I am 58 and have some years left of "having" to work, I would volunteer many hours in church, reading more and more of whatever I could get my hands on, and sewing up blankets for our troups. Life is fantastic!!!!! It is what you make of it!!!! :thumbup:

I cherish my single status and the freedom it gives me to be complete in and of myself, and rarely lonely. :)

your took the words right out of my mouth! maybe if my exH had been a DH I would feel different? LOL He was more of a AHH.

God and my family and friends for sure!

Since experiencing a bankruptcy some years ago I can tell you that it is dangerous to get attached to "stuff" in life .

Bankruptcy taught us "who" our real friends were, how much we really need to find joy and the power and majesty of God.

My husband quoted a line from the song "Me and Bobby McGee" - "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose..."

Me, too!

Car, cat, books, movie classics on Tv, but not TV is self, it is BORING, brave men and women who have fought for our freedom and fought for the freedom of others, my friends, family and so many other things. Our heavenly Father, and God.

I agree with Riversong. Without God, none of the things we have would matter at all. It seems that whatever I need, it is provided, what more could one ask for?

my grandchildren...lol they are the bestestest lol

If we're only talking about "things" and not the important people in our lives, I could not imagine a world without books!

This is going to sound so very trivial, but...

it's my broken-handled hoe.

It's ancient, a relic that my husband probably took from one of his uncle's farm. I've never seen a hoe like it. The cutting edge of the blade is curved, and very thin, which makes it the absolute best tool ever for slicing through weeds and the top of hard-baked clay soil. And the angle to the handle makes it, just, nice...

My son (who's always thinking) says that the reason it is so effective is that the curved blade concentrates all the force in one place.

It's not one of those Korean digger scoop-shaped hoes. I've even searched online for antique tools... and still have not found anything quite like it.

I'd love to know what it actually is!

BTW did I mention that there's only about 18" of handle left? Well, I *still* love it best!

SueKitten1 11-16-2010 05:46 PM

God, Hubby & family definitely.

I would love to see a picture of that hoe. The way you describe it sounds fascinating.

The weather in AZ. So much better than in Upstate NY!

My favorite things are my IMAC and my little house in the Valley! Oh! and DH! :oops:

chris_quilts 11-20-2010 03:39 PM

Sorry, can't pick just one. God, Bible, friends, car??, cats, coffee, chocolate, family, computer (maybe), indoor plumbing and on occasion Turner Classic Movies for the good old ones that they show commercial free.
