It's such a gorgeous Maritime morning here in our little corner of the world, and there's so much to do still before we embark on our trip next week, I almost feel guilty being in this chair and doing what I love to do.
The air is rather crisp outside (I know because I've been out having a game of chase with Miss Pook), only hitting the plus 4 mark (40 Farhenheit) but the sun's rays will edge that temp upwards of plus 15 this afternoon.
As were ejoying a breakfast of yogurt, fresh fruit and coffee, I caught snippets of a news item on the radio (Hubby likes to have the backgound *noise*) I immediately knew what I would write about today. People Magazine's top 100 list of beautiful people is out and bingo, there was my topic: my *own* list of poeple "extraordinaire".
Several names and faces popped in front of me and the *file* grew by leaps and bounds. I will begin however with my top 10, and go from there.
As you might guess, my two sons, Arend's son and daughter, and their children and spouses have to be in that top 10 category. That number adds up to 12 actually. These are not only the most beautiful, they are the most cherished--of course, right?
I have the best friends a girl could ever ask for and they are beautiful inside and out. Our parents, our extended family members, our church family, our pastor and his wife, our "musical" family, and I'm going to run out of steam before my list is complete.
In fact, I don't think it will ever be--complete that is. We meet beautiful people every day when we shop, walk down the street, greet our neighbours, smile at a stranger and see the volunteers working tirelessly to make the world a better place. How can a person narrow those numbers down to a list of 100? Impossible!
I think I'll go and hug the other beautiful person who lives in this house right now--just walk up to him and wrap my arms around him, because I can and he "is".
Till next time,
Barb
