My Perfect Day


A perfect day is made up of all the things that make me happy:

People. Friends. Family. Acquaintances. Strangers. 

Activity. Swimming. Walking. Biking. Yoga. Zumba. Dancing around the kitchen.

Learning. Reading. Practicing my uke. Finch. Duolingo. 

Creativity. Writing. Drawing. Baking. Photography.

Nature. Butterflies. Birds. Bioblitzes. My naturalist group.

Serendipity. Surprise. Wonder. Fun. Laughter. Paradox. 

Spirituality. Silence. Focus. Presence. Gratitude. 

Purpose. Giving. Sharing. Meaning.

Good food. Yogurt. Salad. Fruit. Bread. Ice cream.

Good sleep. Getting to bed at nine and sleeping through the night to five.


What makes up your perfect day?


Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.

    Ooh very nice! Bread is always a good idea! I love bread! Lol. Reading and baking are great! I like taking pictures of my books and such but am nowhere near fancy or professional! Lol.


    Here's my TTT

    Have a GREAT day!

    My perfect day would involve any or all of the following. Nature. More nature. Did I mention nature? Add some good cheese, a glass of wine and a book that captivates, and that’s about it!

    Thinking about a perfect day is a very positive choice. I would explicitly add one item: HEALTH.
