When they die, a part of us die too

I Like... (Shelley's thoughts 4/12/78)

Watching spontaneous smiles

Walking along the beach barefoot

Hearing the waves

Chattering of unfamiliar faces and seeing in a sense of forever

Driving down my street to come home,

a sense of familiarity

The mailman dropping letters in my mailbox

the water as it drips off my hair and hits the arch of my back in the shower

Sliding into cool, clean sheets at night

Having my friends call me, just to say,

"Hi Shelley, how ya doing'?

I Like... (Ashley's thoughts 11/8/10)

Walking outside and feeling the cool breeze of fall run through my skin.

Closing my eyes and taking in the deep breath of fresh air that comes along with it.

Losing myself in a dance, moving my body to the beat of the music,

not caring who is watching.

Wearing a new outfit, radiating confidence and beauty.

Laughing with old friends about old memories, while making new ones at the same time.

Curing up in my pajamas on a chilly day, engrossed in a novel that I am unable to put down.

Shedding tears during a movie, both happy and sad.

Looking through old photograps of my friends and family,

wishing I could flip back in time and revisit them.

Christmas time, the songs, treats, family, decorations, and the aura.

The feeling of accomplishment after finishing a huge assignment, and then getting an A on it.

Accomplish my goals even when I never thought it would be possible.

Overcoming fears and obstacles, even the impossible ones.

Spending time with my family,

and feeling thankful for having them in my life.

Feeling loved and being remembered.
