Sami’s Blog – Things I Love

It is Summer in just a heartbeat, and I can smell the salt of the ocean and the sweet scent of the frangipani trees. I am jumping on a social media trend this week because I am nothing if not a good follower and cheerleader in life! Well known Poet, Andrea Gibson, wrote A List Of Things I Love before passing away this year. Here goes my list.

I love a can of Coke with a red striped paper straw in it. I love tiny pansies raging out of cracks in the ground in my garden. I love how my dogs do actual pirouettes upon my return when I leave the house for just minutes to check the mailbox. I love prawn rolls. I really love prawn rolls. I love white bread with fresh roast chicken swimming in mayonnaise. I love this time of year we can swim before work and after work. I love my son’s tiny hands. I love my daughter’s perfect blonde curls. I love actual linen napkins. I love mustard. I love doing wordle with my son. I love the first smell of coffee in the morning. I love drinking that coffee in a quiet house with all my babes asleep just before the sun comes out for the day. I love yellow and orange and mustard. I love the smell of fresh washing. I love a really good margarita. I love old records. I love warm garlic bread and cold Frosty Fruits. I love finding toy cars in my handbag. I love Summer Rolls. I love readingnpeople’s tattoos on their arms. I love the thrill of every new book knowing it will take me away. I love libraries. I love Taylor Swift’s new song called Opalite. I love broken shells as they remind me life is hard but still beautiful. I love typewriters. I love fresh mint. I love Netflix. I love Friday nights at home. I love that you read to the end.
