Ten Things I Cannot Do Without

Make a list of ten things you need in your life and could not do without. 

If you go beyond ten, that's great. See where the words take you in a freewrite after making the list.

Just a few I cannot do without. . .

l.     Twilight time.  I love the way light creeps and seeps from the darkness each morning and how, in an eye blink light sneaks away at night.
2.    A sense of humor and life of wonder.
3.    Love, Hugs and Smiles.
4.    The unexpected moment. Another and then another. Just one more.
5.    Water: A long drink of cold, Oregon water. A hot shower that blasts and lasts.
6.    Hoodies of all types: T-shirts, sweatshirts, Hoody dresses. I LOVE HOODIES
7.    Foods with taste and texture: Carrot cake with raisins and vanilla icing, broiled salmon, doubly vanilla yogurt, multi-grain toast with apricot or boysenberry jam, French toast in souffle form, Brussel sprouts and spinach drenched with vinegar, crisp apples, Peek's coffee, omelettes with cheese and  veggies, calamari sandwiches, cranberry anything.
8.    The opportunity to feel gratitude and a fountain pen to write about it.
9.    Running or hiking in a natural setting: flowers and clouds and . . .
10.  Song birds, sea birds. Birds. Birds. Birds.
