10 Things I Like

Here is a list of 10 things I like, inspired by Heartbeat by (literature genius) Sharon Creech.

1. sunshine
2. running barefoot
3. books/poems with vivid descriptions that inspire my writing or make me think
4. the smell of apple crumb pie
5. the freedom I feel when I swim 
6. making people smile
7. the color of grass in the spring 
8. laying on a picnic blanket, watching clouds go by
9. swinging so high to try and touch the sky
10. the butterflies I get in my stomach when I write my events on my hand in permanent marker before a swim meet

     What are 10 things you like? I know it sounds silly to ask because no one will answer. But, perhaps one day I will be wrong, and someone will reply, because when you think about it, we are just tiny specks on this huge world. Yet, every single speck is important in their own way. That is why I value every opinion- because I am a speck as well as anybody else....that makes me important too, right? (I hope that made sense.) Feel free to respond. Why? You matter.
