What about you?

You know what I like?

a strong back

Rough hands that reveal work ethic

To see a man holding his daughter

Smiles

Dimples
Bowlegs
Old cars

WITHOUT
Rims

When he closes his eyes and inhales
a song

Proper grammar
Successful marriages

And I mean

successful

On
And
OFF
Paper

Families together in church
Couples in the new stages of a relationship
That cant keep their hands off each other

I like
Residual income

Knowing that someone has amazing things going on in their life
Without

Hearing them actually say that

Transparency
Sisterhood
Development
Growth
Fantasies become realities

Positive
Statistics
Seeing people overcoming odds

I like
My hair
because
This short cut
Makes me feel
alive....

Candles

Old ladies that call me
Baby
Sugar
And
Love

I usually mimic them
Because I enjoy that feeling

I like

Lasting friendships
Learning new things
Consistency

My legs

I like my gray skinny jeans
Because they do wonders for my shape

I like the colors
Purple
Blue
Coral
And
Green

But I look best in black

I like
picture mail of my nephew
New nieces
And
God daughter

Emails from my brother in jail
Because the fact that they have technology is amazing

I like women who are cool with me being friends with their men
because they know I am
NOT
a threat

sunshine

the first cd
JOE
ever made

how I sound when I sing in my shower

Game changers

when I can skip two days without taking my
blood pressure meds
and NOT have a
headache

distance

but closeness to who needs
to be closest

I like
my family
they are an interesting group of folks
and I see so much of myself
in all of them

I like
hooks
and tempos

and songs that end so well
that
I hate to hear them end

I like how experience has taught me so much
but there is so much I am
excited to learn

Men who wear glasses
dorks
dweebs
and
Geeks

because I am one too

When my students tell me the same lie twice
and I gently
remind them that I've heard that one before

blank stares

 to reminisce

when my brother says
"I'm your biggest fan"

I like
people
and learning
who they
are

I like you because you are reading this blog....
