Here is another fun game. You can play anywhere, in the shower, while you are driving, on a hike, with a friend, or just writing it for yourself! It really can get creative with words. You start with A and go through the alphabet, and write a word for each letter of something you are grateful for. You can go basic like use any word you like, or you can break into subjects, like places to go, food, body parts, books, etc.... So today I will start with the "basic" version, and see what comes up for me.
A. Angels B. Babies C. cuddling D. dancing E. eating F. frangrances G. gifts H. help I. intentions J. jumping for joy K. kissing L. love M. money N. nice people O. open space P. pumpkin pie cheese cake Q. quiet times R. rest S. sleep T. turkey U. underwear V. vision W.water X. xtra time Z. zippers.
Hope you like this game, and playing too. Love, Betsy

apple pie again!!, bop-the-beetle game we had as children!!, crocheted toilet tissue covers with a doll's head on top, daisys-bright yellow so I can play loves-me-loves-me-not, earphones for my ipod that do not fit in my ears but sound good anyway, Frankie my god-dog, gypsies in Roma who sing on buses, Harry Potter movies but only up to book 3, icicles on rooftops in other states (none in LA), jello!!, kickoff of soccer matches, love those legs, my favorite Euro players, neckties on cartoon characters, orangeade, pull toys for toddlers, raisins in big handfuls-yum, stilettos, tipsy feeling from sipping Champagne, umbrella stories from Italy (whole separate thread), vacations, whispering, xtra goofiness in this list, yum/yummy, zebras in a photo I have from Africa...
yeah that was fun, who wants to outdo that list - LOL!!
