ReplyDeleteI like them too!
Deleteawww - very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara!
DeleteVery touching. I especially like, "smile meant purely for me". Well written, GIna.
ReplyDeleteThat's probably my favorite one, Tom. Thanks for the nice comment.
DeleteI liked that line "with pizza". Pizza, like ice cream, makes many things better.
ReplyDeleteGive me pizza any time, any place and everything, I mean everything, is better!
DeleteYou made me miss my kids, who were with their mother this Thanksgiving. Well, I was missing them anyway. This is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSorry 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.
Deleteawww, this was a sweet list of favorite things (:
ReplyDeleteThanks, Renada. Mine are and always will be people and feelings related.
DeleteLovely list of favorites, Gina! The last word is powerful!
ReplyDeleteThat "You" encompasses a whole lot of "you" s. It's all the people who are important and special to me.
DeleteLove the ending.
ReplyDeleteMe, too. Thank you.
DeleteIt is a known fact that everything is better with pizza. Loved the ending!
ReplyDeleteIt is. It even says it on Wikipedia ;-) I love everything about the "You" at the end.
DeleteLoving the "dawdling hugs" that's exactly how they feel...Perfect
ReplyDeleteYES! I love hugs that are not rushed and you can just linger with your chosen one.
DeleteDo 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!
ReplyDeleteGal! 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.
DeleteWhat a broad list of favorites. And yes, pizza!
ReplyDeleteYes, 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.
DeleteI love your constantly upbeat style, Gina. Sweet list of faves.
ReplyDeleteThank 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.
DeleteOf course I love my favs, too!
Love this! Great list.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bo!
Deletepassionate lip service with pizza is a nice line - sounds like u both r lucky :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Steven. A night of pizza and kissing = awesomeness!
DeleteThat's lovely, Gina.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
DeleteVery heartfelt. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI felt my heart tug when I was thinking of it, too! Thanks you!
