There are some things in my world that just HAVE.TO.BE. For instance:
- my macaroni and cheese noodles must be shaped
- my oreo cookie cream must be white....NOT holiday colors like green, red, or pink. WHITE.
- spritz cookies taste the best when they are shaped like christmas trees, dyed green, and have sprinkles...no matter what time of year it is. ;-)
- molasses cookies are only edible (to me) when they are rolled and cut with an old Spam can
- Santa only comes on Christmas morning.......not Christmas Eve, not days before or after.....Christmas morning
- smiles and compliments are meant to be given no matter what type of mood you are in....it will most likely make you feel better. ;-)
- gifts and favors are meant to be given without expectation
- always return what you borrow
- loan only what you are willing to lose
- wedding anniversaries are meant to be celebrated and recognized (especially in this day and age)
- family members are meant to be cherished no matter how crazy, selfish, reserved, or annoying they can be
- piles of autumn leaves are meant to be jumped in before bagging and burning them
- don't be afraid to tell your siblings you love them or give them a hug....you never know if it will be the last (believe me)
- share yourself - your person, your time, your talents, your laughter and smiles with those who mean the most to you....
Just a few absolutes in my life......
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
