Every once in awhile we are asked to take a look at our distinct personality and the opinions that make us unique in our own right. It’s not always easy to take a self-critical unbiased view, especially when the statements can be based on emotional reactions. But I took a deep breath and decided to oblige. Besides, inviting conversation is usually very interesting. Since my associate blogger friend over at http://thesunshineisours.wordpress.com (whom I do not know on a first name basis) included me in this challenge, I thought I would set foot into the ring and share a little more about myself.
The rules ask that you list ten (10) things you LOVE followed by ten (10) things you HATE. So here I go…..
LOVE LIST:
(1) I love to listen to French music when I am cooking in my kitchen.
(2) I love to surprise people with gifts of food.
(3) I love to travel with my husband when he goes away on business.
(4) I love to impulsively send handwritten notes to others.
(5) I love that the word “Hope” is always part of my vocabulary.
(6) I love it when God uses me to be a blessing to others.
(7) I love Stargazer Lilies with their hypnotic fragrance and alluring beauty.
(8) I love bicycle rides and sunrise surprises.
(9) I love romance and being in love with my husband.
(10) I love to iron tea towels and clothes with a light lavender starch. It makes me feel as though I am ironing in the south of France.
HATE LIST:
(1) I hate that Forgiveness is sometimes conditional.
(2) I hate seeing loved ones and friends struggle with illness.
(3) I hate hearing God’s name taken in vain.
(4) I hate the excuse, “I’m Busy”!
(5) I hate to see people cry.
(6) I hate a messy house.
(7) I hate spiders, especially fuzzy ones. And jumping spiders.
(8) I hate being the first person to enter a room. (Second child syndrome.)
(9) I hate it when people talk loud on their cell phones.
(10) I hate verbal, emotional, and physical abuse.
Now that my lists are complete, I have the pleasure of issuing the “Love / Hate Blogger Challenge” to ten lucky people. Read on and Pay It Forward!

Loves: #1 and 10 surprised me. The rest just seem like logical extensions of the lovely you I’m getting to know.
