10 things I forget I love ... until I remember
I love jams and jellies. Chokecherry, strawberry, pomegranate, cherry. Yum! I eat jam or jelly nearly every day. On peanut butter sandwiches. On crackers. On toast. On English muffins. On bagels. (Not all in the same day, of course.)
Recently though, as I toasted an English muffin, I noticed the honey in the cupboard and decided to travel that oft-ignored culinary road. So I put it on my toasted muffin instead of jelly or jam, took a big bite, and instantly thought, "Yum! Why don't I have honey more often?"
I always forget how much I love honey -- until I experience it again. I do the very same thing with lots of things, especially the following.
10 things I forget I love ... until I remember
1. Feeding the ducks at the park.
2. Cucumber pickles. Ya know, the delicacy that's just sliced cucumbers, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
3. Riding a bike.
4. Wearing a dress. So much more comfy than pants.
5. Singing "Amazing Grace." Like this.
6. Stretching out on the living room floor in front of a blazing fire.
7. Wrapping a wet toddler in a towel and holding him like a swaddled baby.
8. Campfires at night. With marshmallows on sticks and stars up above.
9. Brach's Milk Maid Caramels. Unwrapped slowly. Savored even more slowly.
10. Getting on the scale and the number being much lower than expected.
Okay, No. 10 hasn't happened in a long, long time. Probably because of all those Milk Maids I've been savoring of late. But I have no doubt whatsoever that I will remember how much I love it, if/when I'm fortunate enough to experience it again.
Today's question:
What would be on your list of things you forget you love ... until you remember?
