5 Years

I failed to acknowledge my blogiversary last month. It's been five years and one month since I first posted a message titled, "A few of my favorite things these days." In honor of that post and my tremendous accomplishment of not abandoning this blog, I will list again a few of my favorite things (some haven't changed):

Two cups of fresh ground coffee in the morning (black of course)

Long walks with Titus on the community path

Morning talks with neighbor/friend

Quiet time in the morning to listen to Christian music classics while reading my daily Bible passage

Talking to good ol' friends on the phone (even if it has been a long time)

Visiting the local dog park and watching Titus take off running

A large homemade frozen margarita

My little garden growing

Strolling up to Ball Square for a cup of ice coffee at True Grounds

Hanging out with a teenager as we talk about life and God's desire for her future

Being able to show up at Fenway Park on game day and getting a ticket (even if I only get SRO)

Receiving an unexpected donation to Young Life (no matter how big or small)

Five years later - it's summer again and life is good!
