1) A ferry ride: I love the Northwest and the Puget Sound and what says the Puget Sound better than a ferry ride. I enjoy the water, wind and the idea of the ferry.
2) OK silly I know but I still wish on stars, eyelashes and wishing rocks (don't ask me how seriously I do wish on them). So today I found the perfect wishing rock. I guess with wishing rocks you make a wish and toss it or something like that. Maybe you are supposed to keep it. All I remember is that a wishing rock is one with a ring that goes all the way around and you wish on it. Do I believe that the rock will grant my wish, NO, but the bigger question is why not make a wish?
3) Whidbey Island - I spent most of my day on Whidbey Island. It was so delightful and pretty. I am not one to cry over pretty things, and so I really didn't cry but it was definitely an emotional moving beauty.
4) Hiking/walking: I LOVE to hike, especially in the Northwest. We did not go far but it was beautiful. I do enjoy the big scene and the little things. I enjoy the beauty of the whole experience. I enjoy the exercise. I enjoy the fresh air. I enjoy the beauty of the BIG beauty around me and I enjoy the beauty of the small flower. Here are some pictures of the BIG and little beauty around me.
5) Unintentional beauty. So I do enjoy photography. I am not the best photographer and what you can do with a point and shoot is hardly photography, but while trying to take a picture of a rose I accidentally left my camera setting on panorama and got the pretty picture I wasn't expecting. It actually may be my favorite picture from today and I really did not plan it this way.
6) CHEESE!!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE cheese. I want to go to Europe one day and try different cheeses and bike. Whidbey Island has a delightful little cheese store which definitely made me smile.
7) Lighthouses - I love lighthouses. I saw two today.
8) Small improvements- I am terrified of heights. The hike I went on today was along a bluff. Most of the hike the drop was covered by tall plants so I couldn't see. There were a few lookout places along the trail. I went closer to the edge than normal because I am slowly facing parts of my fear (granted I was still chickened out on the ladder at one of the light houses). So I am happy for small improvements on facing my fear.
9) Daisies and Lavender- Daisies are my favorite flowers and lavender is my favorite smell. There was a delightful little place that had both. It also had a little art garden as well. This picture of the daisies reminds me of how I would like my gravestone to look.
10) Loganberry Pie- So I am not a pie person. If someone offers me pie I generally say "no" because I don't like pie, specifically I don't like the crust. I had the best fresh loganberry pie today. I think it may have been one of the best 3 pies I have ever had. ALL of it was good (the crust too)
