Monday’s Meditation: On What I Will Miss

July 8, 2013

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

People who are my heart

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

Running

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

Standing at the water’s edge

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.
