I'm Missing


Today I was thinking about all the things and people I miss.

I'm missing...
Ice cream cones and frozen yogurt on a warm summer's night.  I know I could go to Cold Stone Creamery and grab a cone but I don't enjoy them as much on cold nights.

I'm missing...
Wearing flip flops and sandals with freshly polished toes.  Yes, I still get pedicures in the winter but I don't get to show them off!

I'm missing...
My little sister who lives in Texas.  It's been 2 years since our last face-to-face.  We talk on the phone all the time but we love spending time together.  We have so much fun staying up late and sharing memories, dancing and acting silly, cooking together, and shopping, shopping, and more shopping.

I'm missing...
My father, who passed away during my second year of college.  I would love to give him a hug and have a conversation with him.  He never got to meet my husband and our daughter and I'm sure he would love them both.

I'm missing...
My older brother, who passed away much too young for his years.  He was fun to spend time with and he never got around to teaching me to play chess.

I'm missing...
Running on the trail and surprising my daughter at how well I can keep up with her.  Those early morning in the gym are really paying off!  P.S.  I'm a warm weather girl...I Don't Run When It's Cold Out.

I am NOT missing...
Having a cold or the flu.  I haven't been sick all winter!  Last winter I spent the holidays in bed with the flu.  I guess that flu shot really did the trick this year.

Who or What are you missing today?

    I love this list! I miss pedicures, too! I just miss warmth. I'm optimistic spring is coming, though.

    I miss my dad. And my sister. And all the things we never got to share.

      I know what you mean. I think that's why it's so important to cherish the moments we have with the people we love.

    Great idea for a post. I'm missing many things, but always parents, who passed away much too young. I'm missing some of my youth - wishing I had known then what I know now. I'm missing simpler times, and when dessert was really a treat. And I miss that pizzeria we went to when I was really young. It still was my all-time favorite, before the place burned down.

      Thanks so much. You reminded me of one other thing that I'm missing...simpler times. We live our lives at a fast pace and I often wish we could slow things down, including the time. Thanks for stopping by!

    This year, this month, this day-I'm missing warmth! I need sunshine and warm breezes!

    I love how you went from simple, everyday "stuff" to the really deep, meaningful people in your life.
