A nice compilation of favorite things (:
awww - very nice.
Very touching. I especially like, "smile meant purely for me". Well written, GIna.
I liked that line "with pizza". Pizza, like ice cream, makes many things better.
You made me miss my kids, who were with their mother this Thanksgiving. Well, I was missing them anyway. This is beautiful!
awww, this was a sweet list of favorite things (:
Lovely list of favorites, Gina! The last word is powerful!
Love the ending.
It is a known fact that everything is better with pizza. Loved the ending!
I like them too!
That's probably my favorite one, Tom. Thanks for the nice comment.
Give me pizza any time, any place and everything, I mean everything, is better!
Sorry to make you miss them more but you'll see them soon and for Christmas! Mine...right now...are driving me a little nuts (not toddler nuts but crabby adult nuts). Then just under 3 weeks and they're back. Woo Hoo! Thanks for liking my things.
Thanks, Renada. Mine are and always will be people and feelings related.
That "You" encompasses a whole lot of "you" s. It's all the people who are important and special to me.
Me, too. Thank you.
It is. It even says it on Wikipedia ;-) I love everything about the "You" at the end.
Loving the "dawdling hugs" that's exactly how they feel...Perfect
Do you know how good you are, Gina? I gave you a little shout out on my own Trifecta this morning. Sometimes I think style like yours -- creating resonant little slices of life -- can be underrated. But I love it!
What a broad list of favorites. And yes, pizza!
I love your constantly upbeat style, Gina. Sweet list of faves.
YES! I love hugs that are not rushed and you can just linger with your chosen one.
Gal! You are far too kind to me but I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm honored and humbled you feel this way AND I'm so happy you said this today! This is a partial list, a brief snippet of favorite things. It always comes back to the people in my life.
Thank you so much Stephanie! I try. If I don't put forth the effort, it's easy to slide into feelings of negativity, at least for me. I can bitch with the best of them but it makes me feel like crap after.
Of course I love my favs, too!
Thanks, Barbara!
Yes, broad but also only scratching the surfaces and really only about one real of thing...33-words and all. I could live on pizza forever. It makes me happy.
Love this! Great list.
Thanks, Bo!
passionate lip service with pizza is a nice line - sounds like u both r lucky :-)
That's lovely, Gina.
Thanks, Steven. A night of pizza and kissing = awesomeness!
Thank you very much!
Very heartfelt. Love it!
I felt my heart tug when I was thinking of it, too! Thanks you!
