You really do need to read some of the books we three have read. They are simply amazing!
Yeah!!! I'm so glad you posted your sevens.
I particularly liked three of the seven you listed for things that attracted you to Big P: "didn't let me 'run over him'", "didn't have to 'babysit' him", and "not possessive." I don't think I knew how to word those thoughts...but I'm looking for those qualities, too. :-)
And, I love Hind's Feet on High Places.
Hope to see you before the holidays are over!
I'd like to reread Hind's Feet.
You know what I liked about this "exercise"? I kept thinking of more things I liked about Big P after it was over. That being the case, I think I should never want to make a list of things I don't like...
