What has your attention today?

I don’t know about you, but sometimes, I complicate life.

I focus on money, my aging mom, the size of my belly, other people’s struggles, my messy home, what am I doing 10 years from now, or a myriad of other similar issues I create in my mind.

I love it when I remember what really matters: love, friendship, laughter, being silly, and my favorite things.

I especially LOVE those things that I like, just because I LIKE THEM!  Why would I try to explain why I like something when I can simply enjoy them?

AND THEN, these favorite things of mine take on a whole new dimension when I enjoy them with someone else who brings their own mix of love, laughter, friendship and silliness.

Deb Brown, one of my dearest big heart friends and I were chatting and laughing this past week. We unanimously and emphatically decided that what really matters in life is cookies and tacos.

Yep, cookies and tacos (especially my homemade cookies, and my mom’s tacos).

We both got such a sweet lift from this silly, innocuous and quick conversation. The exchange was rich and more significant than it may appear.

You see, what ever you focus on expands.

Why not focus on a few of your favorite things?

By the way, what ARE a few of your favorite things?

Who do you love to share them with?

What’s your version of a cookies and tacos kind of day?
