The Homework Assignment

I never thought I'd be getting another homework assignment from my high school English teacher... But, lucky for me, I get to participate in her inspiring homework assignment as a celebration to her blog's birthday... And in true Alicia-fashion, I've saved it all the way until the very last minute!

Here is my list in no specific order…

simple things complete me

brand new journal books
a cool breeze on a warm summer day
hearing the door handle turn when Seth comes home
reading blogs
text messages from friends
free books on stoops
blurry photos
letters from my nephew
packages in the mail
sunshine
phone calls from family
calming silence
morning hugs
a really good laugh
friendly strangers
green corduroys and my favorite gray tee
memories of days past
notes on stickies
earl gray tea
night bokeh captured in photos
the feel of sand under my feet at the beach
sunsets
perfect tasting fall apples
surprises
dinner parties
puppies
iced coffees in the summer time
handmade gifts
being inspired
bright autumn colors
catching the subway and bus with perfect timing
finding the right words
early morning runs in the country
big kansas skies filled with stars in the night
cupcakes
new friendships, old friendships
good conversations
dreaming
staying in touch
taking photos
