Things I love about this world

By: my eldest child

• Laughing, to make people happy
• The taste of juicy watermelon on a hot day
• Having snowball fights
• Beach chairs because they are so relaxing
• Getting a full night’s sleep
• The sun to light up our world

• People, so we never have to be lonely
• Rain, to make the world prosper
• When my Dad says, “It’s a good one, write it down.
• Comfy king-sized beds
• Living in such a beautiful warm town.

• My parents, because they love me
• The exhilarating feel of the ride, “Soaring over California”
• Flowers, because they smell wonderful
• The glowing moon in the night
• Sad weeping willows with droopy branches
• The colours red and blue
  

• Beautiful old brick houses.
• Bees, but only when they’re at a distance
• The way my stomach jumps into my throat when the airplane lifts off the ground
• Earplugs, because they muffle Dad’s awful snoring.
• Palm trees and the way that they look.
• Silky PJs

• Interesting books with a plot that twists and turns
• That my parents took me to Disneyland and Universal Studios
• The crashing waves of the beautiful blue Okanagan Lake
• Making funny fish faces
• Questions, so we can live in wonder
