from One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp
#110-122
110. a sister who comes and wakes me up if I oversleep in the morning
111. the bliss of sleep after insomnia
112. a wedding and its attendant gladness, tears and bittersweet memories
113. Luke and Theresa's smiles as they turned to face one another over the rings
114. my mom putting a check into my hand
115. fresh cow's milk
116. latin conversations all the way from Bucer's to Garfield Street
117. tortillas fried
118. Billy Collins
119. reading someone else's poetry and being lifted by it
120. old computers that still run
121. a zip-up hoodie with long enough sleeves
122. the satisfaction of paying rent on the exact day it is due
I like your list :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd again, I feel you rise up and bless me...
ReplyDeleteHow could any woman ever deserve ten daughters such as you? My head cannot understand it all, and my heart cannot contain it all....so you spill over from my little embrace to the whole world! Never tire of writing. God bless you dear as much as you have blessed me. Thank you again. Momma
