Ten Things I Can’t Do Without
I’m setting aside family and friends because that is an obvious and constant need and love. Also, these are not in order aside from the first one. Dogs are always first.
- Dogs (mine in particular, the world’s in general)
- Coffee
- Music
- Creeks with moss-covered rocks
- Fresh sheets on the bed, especially when coming home after a trip
- Weird stories told in unique ways
- Sitting outside in the sun on the first warm day of spring and the first cool day of fall
- Children’s books with eternally inspiring art
- Handmade pottery mugs
- Thunderstorms
