Thursday 13 v. 17
Thirteen of the Little Things That Carmen Is Appreciative Of
- Sunsets: They can be so peaceful. Sunrises are nice, too, but seldom am I up early enough to see one.
- Butterflies: I wish I could float on the air like that.
- Purrrrrr: It touches my heart when Pooh Bear purrs.
- Hugs: You know, they say healthy adults need several hugs per day to maintain mental health. I have to stock up on hugs when I visit my parents.
- Harmony: I'll listen for the harmony in most every song. And sing it. In the car/shower/in public.
- Laughing: A good belly laugh can make all the problems in the world disapper. Valium can do this too, but I prefer laughing. ;)
- Voting: It's an honor. Even if I do question the ability of many Americans to make an educated choice. ;)
- The Senses: My eyes can see color, my tongue can taste chocolate, I can feel softness, I can hear music, a smell brings back memories. Well, not all smells. Some I'm not so grateful for. Ha.
- Horse Noses: They are so soft, and it's nice to feel their breath. That's one of the ways they'll decide if you're "good people".
- Ice Cream: It's a girl's best friend. Stupid diet.
- Exercise: Although I hate it with a passion, the alternative is not an option.
- Pillows: It's one of the best feelings when I first lie down at night to put my head on my pillow. Heck, I'll give a "holla" out to my mattress, too.
- Milk: I go through 2 gallons a week. I love the stuff. My bones are extra strong.

Horse noses. How great is that! And I love that first drifting off on the pillow. A great list--all wonderful things to appreciate.
My TT is up.
could i have a valium please?
I love good harmony, too. You know, Emmylou Harris is the QUEEN of beautiful harmony, if you ask me. When she sings with someone, it immediately classes it up!
yeh, whoever sees a sunrise??? I *love* my pillow- not my mattress...
This is a great list. I would give you hugs cause I am in severe lack too. Be blessed
I'm with you on #12, I love me some cool pillows
Ahhh... #10. And then you had to come in with #11. Double sigh... ;)
LOL! I am eating the ice cream right now!
Happy TT!
you know hugs and pillow are at the top of my list too.
my tt is up.
Cool list. I agree with all of them - except the milk. Am really not a milk drinker, except in coffee (if there is no soy). And I've not really given much thought to horses noses before...
My list is up.
Cats purring is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world, bar none. Husband reckons his snoring is kind of along the same lines, but we are not even close.
Horse noses are good, I agree, but so is that soft bit of fur right behind a cat's ear... I love it!
Sometimes I do this too...think about things that I have that are great. I love that some of yours are very ordinary.
I love the bed/pillow thing too...it signals my body that allt he work is done for the day.
Aaaahhhh, ice cream. We just had an ice cream festival in Philly. $5 (to benefit childhood leukemia) got you a spoon and all you can eat ice cream. YUM!
Love this list. I love sitting in the Butterfly room of our local kids museum...it's just peaceful there.
I Love my pillow too! I really wish I knew horses better and had the opportunity to spend more time around them. They are so gently (I have heard) but their size is still pretty intimidating to me.
Yes! soft and huggable pillows I do like a lot. It induces me to sleep.
My T13 is up too.
Mmmmmost every word on the list is soothing just to say. Mine are served up.
What a great list! You know - you can get "no sugar added" ice cream. ;)
Happy TT! Mine are up.
Ohh, what a great list!!! The only thing I'm not as fond of is horse noses, I'm not a big horse person.
I hate ice cream right now, I walk by the ice cream and just want some soooo bad!
Good list. So true about hugs & laughing...and ice cream rocks!
Oh, # 7. My teenager's decided he wants to go into politics--he says he can fix this.
These are all great. I love # 4: My kids have a rule: if they come into a room where I am, I get a hug. :)
So sweet, many of these things we take for granted. I will have to agree to saluting our pillows (and mattress) My bed is my favorite place of all. I always make sure to make it up each morning also, because there is where I dream my dreams. -Margie
Thanks for reminding me things that I take for granted sometimes (well almost all the times).
Happy TT Carmen :)
Ah, pillows, how I wish I was still sleeping..... heh, great list!! You'll have to tell me how your Adsense thing is working out now too, I know you were starting to accumulate a few, eh? ;) I get a few clicks now and then....
Hi! I liked "The LAST Juror", but just looked up "The Juror", the title you used in my post comments. THAT one looks interesting, too. But, yes, The Last Juror was very good. ;)
Lovely list...and now I have the warm fuzzies ;~)
Mine's up!
What a great list, great TT. Mine is up too.
There is nothing like a good hug to make everything right in the world. I prefer sunsets, as I'm not a morning person either. I love, love, love my pillow.
Have a great Thursday,Carmen! :P
I couldn't live without 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12! Great list!
Great list! sunsets, icecream, hugs, butterflies ... all great things to be thankful for!
Two gallons a week? Wow girl...I would not want to arm wrestle you! HA!
Cool pillows are the best.
Those are nice things... sigh... except milk, which I am allergic to. My roommate had a cat once that didn't purr. It was such a frightening creature. I felt sorry for it.
I love sunsets, and we have some beautiful ones out here in the desert!
I heart my pillows so much that they go everywhere with me...even on vacations cause I just can't sleep as well without *my* pillows!
Thanks for stopping by my 13!
I agree with you about voting. It is an honor and a privilege.
Mine are up. Happy Thursday!
We're big milk drinkers here too! My hubby, daughter & I can go through 2-4 litre jugs in 2-3 days!
...my list is up:)
Great list! Laughing and hugs are great remidies!
Thanks for visting my TT.
We go through about 2 gallons a week too between the anklebiters and ourselves!!
I am with you about exercising. I hate it with a passion... but I have to stay healthy...
Your love is NOT better than ice cream... (a song reference) Ice Cream Rules. And I hear Ben & Jerry's is holding a contest to invent a new flavor.
Ohhh ice cream sounds so good right now.
Have to admit I love my pillow too. I even took it on vacation with me:)
Horse Noses.. I love it!
I love butterflies. They are so awesome.
My TT is up.
terrific list! Especially agree with the laughing... great stress reliever!
My TT is up!
I love harmony but can only sing melody. I've tried!
Great list! I love many of these as well, except for exercise. Phooey on exercise :)
Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by my blog!!
I appreciate your list, and banner. Maury was sedated yesterday, and will be morphing into his butterfly in the next day or so.
Thank you Carmen.
I agree in most of the list, the senses are my fave but i havent been near to a horse so i wouldnt know their noses or breaths hehehe
A good laugh keeps the sadness at bay!!
Happy TT, mine is up.
Horse noses.. I LOVE that. Having had a few horses of my own I can definately relate to that. It's sensational (okay people are gonna think we're insane lol)
Mandy
How sweet! What a cute list.
Nice list. The "Horse Noises" one made me think of something that I find (oddly enough) facinating. Whenever an author brings such imagery of a horse into a novel, that you feel as though you could reach out and touch it. That's cool.
Thanks for visiting my T13 today!
I love butterflies!
What a great list. I LOVE horse noses, and the smell of horses. I also love sunsets. The valium thing was funny. I prefer laughter, too.
Thanks for visiting.
Hey Carmen, thanks for stopping by!
Oooh, I'm an ice cream FANATIC! LOVE the stuff, any flavor.
And the exercise thing, I've actually gotten to the point that I enjoy it ... well, I enjoy how I feel afterwards. I hate the time it takes to do it. lol
I always laugh, life's too short NOT to!
I honestly didn't know that about hugs, maybe that's what my problem is! I'm not meeting my daily hug quotient. =)And I agree with Natalie about Emmylou Harris. She is a class act.
What a great idea for a TT...I might have to borrow this idea. Thanks for visiting my TT. Stacie
I love your list. I love my pillow it is the best. I know you dont have kids but the hugs from my kids are the best therapy.
Great List!!!!
mmmm...ice cream....
stop by!
I dig sunsets, laughing, and enjoying my senses as well. A great, positive list. Thanks for sharing!
i like your list. i love sunsets and ice cream, of course. thanks for dropping by.
Great List!
Thanks for popping by mine too!
Hugging and purring...good stuff!
Hey when you come to Hawaii which islands are you going to? You MUST take as many photos as you can!! It is breathtaking here!
I've taken over 1000 in just 5 months!
later!
Great list .... I agree with all of them (love the comment about the ice cream - mine would be chocolate!) ... thanks for visiting my blog today!
Kris
I've peeked at you photo blog (great shots btw!)
We live on Oahu, and the mountains take my breath away all the time. Hopefully when you come they will be green again. If you're interested I have photos here http://photos.yahoo.com/ph//my_photos
(sorry I don't know how to make links in comments yet!)
I love harmony, hugs, sunrises and a good pillow!
What a great list! Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Have a great weekend.
I have never been that close to a horse to feel his nose, lol! I have a roll instead of a pillow (hope the name is correct), I love it. How about tons of comments? you've got plenty of them tonight! happy TT! (hugs)!!
Everything except the milk....lactose intolerant, but love Silk vanilla soy milk;-) ....well, and maybe not exercise either but you're right abou the alternative. Great list! My TT is up!
Great list, Carmen! I'm so excited my little guy, Minden--who was on death's door two weeks ago--is totally fine, in fact better than ever, and purring like crazy again....I'm extra-appreciative of his purrs now... :)
I'm also appreciative of exercise. But, I'm more appreciative of the little time I have to sit on my ass and do nothing!
I'm with you on the pillow. A cool pillow on a hot day at that. :)
I love Hugs especially from my kids and hubby.
I love the sounds of a room filled with family & friends. :-)
On the HTML help; I'm working on a blog template & I can't figure out how to make the blog body & side bar a solid color. It's driving me mad! Any tips?
LOl @ the holla to the mattress.. that was cute.
These are lots of great things to be grateful for.
Thanks for stopping by :)
I love horse noses, too! This is a great list!
Thanks for stopping by :-)
I think hugs and kisses are my favorites, especially when I don't have to ask for them!
Oh...this is a great list! Hugs, pillows and ice cream....can't get any better! Thanks for stopping by my TT!
take care!
It's the little things that make all the difference, isn't it? Great list (writes that down for the future)
Happy Thursday!
Kitty purrs are great! Ice cream, too.
My mom once read that if you give your teenager two hugs a day, it decreases her chances of getting pregnant. She hugged me when she could...
Great list! Oh, and I love the sunsets! We had a beautiful one other night, coming in from town. My husband ran to get his camera, but by the time he got back to see it, the clouds had it covered. It was beautiful! I wanted to put it on Flickr..but, we didn't get it.
Come over to my site and see my 13 -
http://tidbitsandtreasures.blogspot.com/2006/07/tidbits-of-my-life-today.html
These are all great things! I love sunsets and butterflies and my cat's purring and laughing and beautiful harmonies and...so many things. Thunderstorms (as long as I don't have to go out in them) rank up there too.
Butterflies and horse noses are awesome!
You would have a problem in my house: no milk. How about some vanilla soy milk?
Lots of visitors again! Good job! Those are great things to appreciate! I love sunsets, ice cream, chocolate, hugs from my family, etc. I look for the happiness and joy in life, there is so much to be grateful for! Thanks for stopping by today!
Voting. So underappreciated. Thank you. One vote for your list!
~Lisa
I love my pillow too and ice cream.
Purrs and Horse noses, memories of my childhood right there!
That's great that you like milk so much! You must be very healthy! I try to force myself to drink it; sometimes I'll drink eat with cereal then it is flavored. I take calcium pills. ;) Your list is awesome! :)
The little things are gooood!
I like the mattress and pillow too. I also love singing the harmony when I can. There's only a couple of songs that I can though. I think I need to make one up rather than copy someone elses for my vocal chords to remember it.
Mmm, chocolate is very good too.
I find the more exercise, the more Ilike it.
