Awww, you are so AWESOME!! I love that you celebrate the triple dates! It's not silly, it's fun! Sadly, I worked through the 10:10 am mark this morning and didn't notice until a few minutes later but sort of made up for it with by posting at 10:10 tonight. :)
I love your lists! I'm going to try at least some of each of them. (Not sure about the cauliflower but I love peach salsa.)
And thank you for the link to my whirling butterflies. You are such a honey!!!

Happy Belated 10-10-10!
Your lists are the very best - always, always! You had me way before pickled okra, but that sealed the deal. I will be back to this page to visit all the wonderful places you give as gifts. YOU are a gift yourself, and celebrate is my word this week (you have ESP). Love you!!

Oh Wow Relyn, this is super duper fabulousness! Will be checking out the links as I get around to it :)
LOVED this buffet of goodness & fun, Relyn! Saturday I had the day all to myself, and really treated myself to what I love--yoga, a facial & hair mask, pot tea & reading, writing/updating my journal, knitting, chocolate... It was bliss! I realized I need to take a day more often just for renewing my own spirit! Thanks for the fun, tips & reminders, my friend... Happy Day ((HUGS))
This is A-Mazing!! I'm going to come back and read tis again and spend lots of time with it when I have more time. So much greatness here (and thanks for including me - blushing)

First, I love that you celebrate triple-digit dates. Second, I love that you love lists. Third, I love that you love lists you made ten of them for this post. Fourth, I am honored that you included one of my posts in one of your lists. Fifth, I love how amazing and caring and funny you are. Sixth, you have listed several of my fave snacks and one of my all-time fave books. I've read The Secret Garden more times than I can count or even list! Seventh, you rock. Eighth, the wax lips made me laugh! Ninth, I want to be like you when I grow up. Tenth, thank you, sweet Relyn. xo Gigi
i lov 'em ;) thank u...
Oh, I love it! And speakign of 10.10.10 ... my cousin turned 30. Now how fun would THAT be?! :)
A very lovely cute idea to commemorate 10/10/10.
I laughed also because the last three items on your snacks list are favorites of mine too. Apples and peanut butter especially...
I always make time for breakfast and reading but I just managed to lose an hour on You Tube! I wonder from where you get the energy for all these lists!
I just love your lists! and I just spent over an hour exploring all the places you sent me to:)
It doubles my pleasure to share things I have learned love. My lists make me happy.
Wonderful lists! I let 10-10-10 get by without giving a lot of attention to it. I don't know why but between you and Anali, I've made up for it. This is what I was supposed to be doing and that is spending time here and there engaging in the joy of what you both see.
i've got to spend some time with this - will read later when i have more (time). look forward to the links you listed. this post must have taken you hours and hours. thanks
Thank you for the
100 smiles!!!
My heart stretched a mile:)

rabbithole ripples)
What a great post, Relyn. Thank you for the links. The "to live with faith" and "to make a big gesture" links brought happy tears to my eyes. What a good way to go to bed tonight. Thanks for that. :)
These are wonderful lists! You have inspired me to make my own.
Blessings to you and your family,

Wish I'd thought to do that! Love your lists!
Oh sweet Relyn, you have taken me on some beautiful journeys this morning...all those lovely links, and to be included amongst them makes me feel so amazing..thank you so much. I feel so incredibly inspired now...I was going to follow my usual morning routine, but no, not anymore...I am going to take myself out somewhere beautiful so I can create some pictures before fall has fallen away completely.
I love you....I love that I spent the first part of my morning with you, dear friend.
