Monday’s Meditation: On What I Will Miss
In her book “I Remember Nothing,” Nora Ephron shares her list of what she will miss. Here’s my version.
What I will Miss:
My family
Springtime
The feeling of clean hair
Twirling my hair
Clean Sheet Night
The smell of laundry fresh from the dryer
Crisp, sweet watermelon and corn in the summer
Soy lattes all year round
Always coffee
The smell of coffee in the morning
My morning bowl of oatmeal
Sunshine
The occasional and ferocious thunderstorm
Really crunchy apples with organic peanut butter forever
Ice cold seltzer
Every dessert
Books
The concept of books
The smells of books right in the middle if you sniff your nose in close
Dogs
The Great Gatsby
Favorite blue jeans
White shirts
Jumping
Going for walks
The smell of my favorite candle and perfume and hair stuff
Blueberry muffins
The concept of blueberry muffins and baking them
Discovering special boutique shops with loads of lovely things for sale
My memories from childhood
The joy of children
Laughing
The feeling of being helpful in, and bringing calm to, stressful situations
Surprising people with unexpected gifts
Watching movies
Watching Grace Kelly in movies
Inside jokes and sayings and saying them to each other
Really good hugs
Writing

Mexican hot chocolate, everyone dancing & not one person standing still, Bing Crosby singing Christmas carols, cold pillows, Erik Satie, A Moveable Feast, being in water, orchids, antique shops and hoping I’ll find something with magic, warm French bread & butter, stand-up paddle-boarding, bookshops & libraries, jasmine tea, dusk, the sound of rain.

I love this Annie!
I’d have to say my dog, animals in general (especially red pandas), stationery, my friends, my husband, driving with the stereo up, pink peonies, the smell of rain, hot chocolate fudge, freshly washed sheets, movie nights, that feeling when you finish a piece of writing, hugs, live musical theatre, travel and the sound of the ocean.
