12.16.03 hum

Today I went to an actual mall to purchase sundry gifts that could not be found elsewhere. Winter is a wretched season and shopping in an enclosed space with angry humans and overpowering scents does not generally improve my mood.

But instead of getting angry I started to hum and sat down right there next to the caged Santa to take notes.

Here are a few of my favorite things:

-Polyester dresses
-Story songs
-Comprehensive health and dental insurance
-Reading in the bath for hours
-The Olympic range, from a distance
-The way Mount Rainier seems to slide across the horizon as the Fauntleroy ferry motors toward Southworth
-The burrito bus down in the valley
-Collards, rice & gravy with a biscuit at the Globe
-Swallows swarming over the knoll at Sand Point
-The friendship of my children
-The love of my friends

The best thing by far this year? I've made so many promises and commitments I simply do not have time in the schedule for pesky cancer tests. Tra la la & happy holidays!
