As I was making the list…I realized everything on my list is simple, basic and doesn’t cost much money. Except for the traveling part! It made me feel good just thinking of these things!
Such a great message! Love your list, I’m finding it difficult to add to – you’ve covered everyhing! Ummmm… maybe baking, hot bubble baths, and listening to rain on a tin roof
reading your post drew a smile on my face !
love your list and you are so true about simple and basic things in life that we tend to take for granted sometimes !! thanks for sharing !
You’re very welcome!
Awesome list!!
Thanks so much!
You’re welcome!
What about Sauna? I mean a real Finnish Sauna.
Oh yes…I love a good Suana. I haven’t yet been to Finland…so hopefully I’ll get to experience that!
Hi you list of 5o things you love about gave me inspiration of making my own list in just ONE GO and believe me it felt like I know my self more now… Thanks for this post!
I am posting my list on my blog soon…sorry for stealing your idea…..
That’s great…so glad it gave you an idea!
Wow this was one of the most interesting posts I have read all day
My dog looks that 
I agree Mina!
I can almost relate to all 50 of them, I think its always the simple stuff that makes everyone happy, but they never realize it!
Love all of them and 38 really grabbed me. Maybe I’m hungry right now. Good job, pictures and all.
Thanks Georgette!
Awesome list! Great to think of things we love to do! I think we have similar lists – love all of them!
Thanks Anita…you’re right…most people probably really enjoy the things on my list. They’re quite simple…but special.
This was a Wonderful idea! And even if we don’t take the time to make a list ourselves you have certainly given us something to think about. We should take stock of the blessings in our lives … big and small.
Hi Michelle – Thanks and hope you have a spectacular weekend!!
Hi,
What a fantastic list, all very practical, and a lot that would just make you feel good or make others feel good, you can’t disagree with any of those things. Oh and the pets, the unconditional love you certainly can’t beat that.
Hi Mags…thanks! I believe that’s our biggest mission in life…enjoy and have gratitude!
Guess what..I love these too!!
Hi Vic – I guess most people like these. It was a reminder to me that it is the simple things that matter so much!
You listed lots of good ones! Also, making lists–and when it is to-do lists, crossing off completed items!
Patti – I thought of that one too…I love lists…but I already had 50.
I like # 47…. Shall we…or did I just….
I think you did…it’s actually a healthy thing for people to do. It surprises me that many find it an undesirable activity. Probably because they are either not confident in their relationship or the “flirting” turned into something more.
It made me feel good just reading these things and I agree with you on most of them… I think I’ll make a list of my own!! Oh, and I like the pictures too. Thanks for the post!
