Colors

I'm a list girl, so here's one I'd like to express.

Things That Color My World (in no particular order):

music, train rides, bus rides through parts of a city I've never seen before, God and his steady love, kids, the logic of kids, postcards, emails, lists, lists from friends, reading rock-your-world verses that change you from that moment on, making adventures out of the mundane, traveling, going home, honest talks, meeting new people who turn out to be amazing, cold milk, experimental cooking, the harmony part, innocence, getting under warm blankets when the room is freezing, learning from mistakes, watermelon in the summer, finishing projects, reading a book so captivating that you lose track of time, taking pictures of random and beautiful things/people/places, tackling my sister, riding a bike, being spared from disaster and finding out about it later, wearing jackets in autumn, playing with people's hair, learning about other cultures, Nutella, falling asleep listening to rain and/or thunder, acoustic guitars, dreaming about those I miss, the second day of school, swing sets, brand new notebooks, truth, driving on the back roads, Disney princess blankets, lit fireplaces in the winter, people-watching, going out on the river/lake/bay/ocean, changing seasons, foreign languages, how every sunset and snowflake is different, free samples, standing right where the waves can just reach my toes, balconies, pineapple juice, the smell of new books/new shoes, words like posh and savvy, non-verbal communication, mercy, cats that sit on you, pretty names, laughing, good lyrics, field trips, mountains, having a part in changing the world, spaghetti, Hillsong, cutting words and pictures out of magazines to make your friend's birthday card, flowers and rain and the green of spring, a favorite worn-out pair of jeans, that moment right before you fall asleep, hoodies, lying on the ground looking at the stars, Text Twist, sledding, finding someone with common interests, Pixar movies, forests, every tree in the whole world actually, bookstores and libraries, singing in the shower, ping pong, snacks, sitting barefoot on a dock, Francine Rivers, writing that poem that says just what it needs to say, symphonies, hunting for incredible graffiti, waterfalls, full journals, BBC's Planet Earth, sincerity, finding an ordinary thing sacred, Reese's peanut butter cups, having a family that loves you, clothes right out of the dryer, rolling the windows down when you drive on a bridge, obeying the Lord, starting a new book, turning to the book's last page, closing the book and sitting lost in thought about it, ugly brown comfortable chairs, teaching 6 year-olds to play chess, answered prayers, Swedish fish, C.S. Lewis, pomegranates, ticket stubs, knowing that others are praying for you, and crayons, because I'm literal.
