I bring her blog to your attention not just for great dog photos, but because I feel compelled to share the Life List she put together. I have been thinking about the world and my place in it for some time now. A list like this made me feel so many things. For me the point of the list is not about doing them, it is about identifying the things and places we love and the dreams we have inside. My list would be very different except for the photo show of my dog's pictures and Kenny Rogers (Islands in the Stream-I know all the words). Fun Frances Fact: I learned the "Thriller" dance in high school. What is the Tamale Trail? I looked it up and the trail is located in the Mississippi Delta and let's just say good eating and good times are the focus. I like how AB crossed out the things she has done already. I am working on my list and hope that you are inspired to write one of your own. Thanks AB.
Here is a small excerpt, you can see the complete list by clicking here-AB Chao's Life List:

Here is a peek at a few flower pins I made recently.

| I made this out of thick grey jersey like material. I love the way the blue bead catches the eye. |

| These are also made of jersey and are super soft. I sewed one onto my orange hat and just love it. |
I hope you have a Wacky Wednesday!
This is wonderful, I'm off to check out her blog. I'd love to see your list. I think I'll do a list too and share it on the blog. Why not? I love that we are inspiring each other.
ReplyDeletePS. I must be the only person on the planet that can't do Thriller. I have two left feet.
ReplyDeleteI have to think for a few days about my list and was planning on adding it next week. I am excited to work on it. I am having a lot of fun sharing back and fourth with you. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thriller is a bit overdone now anyway, like a sinister Macarena. I just pictured zombies doing the Macarena. LOL.
I love the Macarena. I still perform it in my apartment if I'm bored, or something. Hahaha. I am still thinking about my life list. I know what i want to do, it's all in my head, but for some reason to write it down on paper seems daunting. Have a good weekend.
