Christmas is the best time to do this, for sure, but it is important, as our dear friend Charles Dickens suggests, to keep Christmas alive and well in our hearts, all the year through. As we prepare to say goodbye to 2018, a year of some incredible highs and lows, to be sure; I am, once again, renewing the "My Favorite Things" post: an annual activity to make a list of the things that each of us holds most dear--those things we love and cherish in this life.
So, to review for those who have done this before, and to introduce to those who are new to the blog this year, here are the rules for the annual Favorite Things post: Make a list of your 25 most favorite THINGS. The key word is THINGS. No people allowed on your list. That removes the pressure you may feel to name every family member and friend. People and things should never be categorized together. People come first. This list is much more light-hearted.
This was REALLY tougher than I thought to narrow it down to 25 for me (initially, I was afraid I would draw a blank!) but here is what came to mind first for me. Try to just take pen to paper and write what comes to your mind first. These will probably be the most honest. :)
Let's begin this beautiful Christmas Season, and ring in the New Year with a list of all the things we love...those things for which we are most grateful, shall we?
MRS. CARAWAY'S FAVORITE THINGS...(in no particular order)
1. Cathedral bells
2. The sounds of my sons playing piano
3. London's Christmas Market

9. WW2 History. I cannot get enough.

12. Stories that stay with me.
13. Things that sparkle (candlelight, glitter, jewels, etc)
14. Standing on the stage at night after a last rehearsal - anticipation everywhere.
15. The color RED

Now, it's your turn...

May this mark an attitude of gratitude in your heart, that you may keep the joy and love of Christmas all year through!

So, last year I made this list and this is what I had put:
ReplyDelete“I like driving alone, with my music blaring. I love watching comics videos when I’m in the mood for laughing. I like to laugh, and I love to make others laugh too! The table up on Verrado Way, ugh, I love watching the sunrise there; so relaxing! I love the smell of caramel (pronounced car-AH-mel for those who like to exclude that poor little “a”) and burning wood. I love the thrill of snowboarding. I love the intensity and comradery that comes up playing volleyball. I adore Adam Levine. I like seeing genuine smiles. I like competition, like sports and games. I love my family. I love my kitties and puppies and I love to snuggle with them. I’m a photographer, and I love capturing moments in time. I cherish memories and making them. I like to be challenged, despite my attitude and being challenged. I like Utah, and snow. I have an appreciation for considerate people. I like Symphony Hershey’s chocolate bars. I like the chimichangas from Carlos O’Brien‘s. I like Dylan O’Brien. Last but not least, on my list of “likes” and “loves”, I love surrounding myself with people who make me my best self.”
Wow, I was such a kiss-up then; I see that hasn’t changed. Actually, a lot of this stuff on my list is very true, I love most of those things now to a certain extent. However, in my year since the last post, I think I’ve gained a greater appreciation for things… so without further stalling, that I’ve already done, here is my revised list of the 25 things I love most:
1. Being able to live, right now.
2. Having a healthy body, despite how much I may despise it, at times.
3. My family.
4. My friend who is a boy… tehe :)
5. My friends who are both boys and girls.
6. People who stick to facts.
7. People who are willing to ‘Kirby Ultimate Suck’ life when it T-Poses, dabs, whips and nae-nae’s that ultimate smash on me.
8. Traveling (as much as engaging with Uber drivers, flight attendants, passport officers, etc. makes my blood pressure spike so high - no addict could handle that high.)
9. Laughing (Hi, I’m Obnoxious; nice to meet you!)
10. Exercising (except not when it requires lifting weights; ah)
11. Makeup/Beauty Products --I will never be BeyoncĂ©, but I can feel like I “run the world” with some brow gel and falsies :)
12. Memories and reminiscing (let’s skip all of freshman year though… *shutters*)
13. Bubble Soccer (try it… hehe you’ll have a BALL HAHAHAHA)
14. Smiling ;) and genuine smiles (hasn’t changed)
15. Romance movies (okay, okay come at me; I’ll be munching my popcorn and watching my movies while you do)
16. Social media
17. Taking photos (*clears throat* @dmaccam)
18. Tea (both the drink and some good tea)
19. Volunteering or donating (such a good feeling to help in any way, shape or form; big or small)
20. Music
21. Driving people around (Not sure why I love it so much but call your local Uber Driver!)
22. Dancing -- I’ve got the Moves like Jagger ;)
23. Being myself (cliché #sorrynotsorry)
24. Hugs (A good hug is A1 Steak Sauce)
25. Nature (I need to get out more)
Obviously not all of what I love. A list could never define that (gotta show love, not just tell). Thanks for listening to my TED Talk :)

After writing this list it gave me awareness about how grateful I am for these things. I truly hope we get to do these both years in your class :)
ReplyDelete1. My brother, Avery, singing. He can barely talk but his singing is flawless and I hope to one day see him acting/singing.
2. My brother, Aidan, running into my arms when I pick him up from school. The excitement on his face to see his sissy speaks a million words worth.
3. My mom's cooking, she doesn't even have to try and she makes flawless dishes. She is a blessing.
4. Pediatrics's! Everything about it, I can't wait to one day sprinkle magical fairy dust in IV bags and see my sweet little patients dress up as their idols.
5.Hallmark Christmas movies, I try to act like they don't get to me, but they put me in the holiday spirit.
6. Grey's Anatomy, everything about that show is so fake but it is by far the one thing that stops me from doing homework. Except for Mrs.Caraway of course ;)
7. Literature, I used to despise literature, it was too hard to read such long books, but now I get into a good book (like Jane Eyre) and I can't stop reading, I get attached, then bothered that there aren't more chapters.
8. My Brother, Aidan, doing Aerial Yoga with me, It is extremely hard to explain but it is the best bonding we have together.
9. Writing my books about Autism, I as well make those with Aidan, he is my little co-writer, he is the author of his own book called "Brockie In The Washing Machine" I of course wrote the words but he told me exactly what to write.
10. Tanning in the pool, except for the gosh darn bees.
11. My teachers, and past teachers, I am nothing without them and I am so greatful for all they have done for me.
12. My dog, though he just passed away this past October, I still miss him daily and the memories I hold of him and I make me smile.
13. Going out to eat with my mom, we call it "dates", it's bonding time for us away from the boys, also we like a good hot meal we don't have to clean up after.
14. Photography, I love taking so many photos my vision starts to go blurry from looking through the camera for so long.
15. Cruisesssssss! There is no better feeling than being on a big ol' boat on the sea with no worries or cares in the world. Some sub topics about cruises include(but are not limited to),dancing, the food, tanning, the rides, lava cakes, trivia, no cell phone getting in my way, swimming with dolphins, snorkelling, hiking, more food, and sunrises.
16. Studying, well not the studying part, but when studying leads to fantastic grades, I love to study.
17. Driving, though I am extremely dangerous when I drive, I am a great driver. Trust me.
18. Texas Roadhouse Butter and rolls. I shouldn't have to explain this one.
19. My bed, it's custom made (I know that makes me sound like I'm spoiled, which I am, but that's besides the point).
20. Painting, I only do it for fun but, it is very stress relieving and sometimes you start with one idea and end with a different and it looks great.
21. My brother, Aidan, looking at me like I am an idiot when he asks me to speak Chinese with him. There is no better time to feel like an idiot when your 6 year old brother is showing off how smart he is.
22. Blankets. I will never reject a blanket when offered, I am always cold. Trust me.
23. A clean room. I used to never clean my room but now if there is anything on my floor I lose my mind. My bedroom door stays locked so no little minions can go tear it apart.
24. The holidays, I love everything about it, but especially when my mom opens her present from me to find it was something I hid from her 8 months ago.
25. Life, I have been through it all and yet I am so greatful and happy I live the life I do. I would never trade my life for another. I am happy, and healthy, and onto great things.

The words of advice that are the most helpful for me are, If you are sick facetime someone in the class. This year my greatest challenges are being able to soak up as much knowledge as possible and take good notes, oh and study! But I also am very excited to be with people who are excited to learn and will push me to do better in class and outside of the classroom. For me, I am here not for the college credit but to the intensity of the course, it’s self. I say this because I have never been challenged at school. I have always been ahead of my grade so I was consistently bored. But now I with people who will push me to better myself and learn and experience things I never could have before which is exciting. Lastly, I would love to just grow a deep knowledge and expand my intelligence.
