A list of a few things that I like. No particular order.

1. The woody core in a pineapple.
2. A blanket that is heavy.
3. New Book Smell.
4. Afternoon naps.
5. Rain on a Summer night.
6. Nutmeg.
7. Sharing a moment in silence.
8. Not having to explain why something is funny.
9. My clown fish nibbling on my finger.
10. Woodsmoke.
11. A coffee made right, for me, by someone else.

There are times when I wonder if it’s best to just keep one’s mouth shut. Probably, more often than not. But what if it involves people who are within your daily sphere of influence? Should they be kept out of the loop? I would say no. I’ve had some recent experience in this, and I believe that it’s better to let people know, even if that information may be hurtful, in order to save your *own* sanity. Telling someone something they may not want to hear takes that burden off of you. I dislike carrying secrets.

Once that information has been passed along, it’s no longer under your control. Be prepared to accept the consequences of revealing it, even if it means a potential blow to the relationship.
