BREATHLESS


What leaves you breathless? I am asking myself; because this week’s GBE2 word prompt is “breathless”.

My answers~

1)     Elvis Presley’s voice singing almost anything.

2)     The sound of my grandchildren laughing, talking or playing.

3)     The hug or the kiss of my husband. (Not the kind of breathless that makes it hard to catch my breath, the kind that makes me grateful that he chose me.)

4)     Finding just the right words to type to express an emotion I’m feeling for my characters. Or the right word to convey my own feelings on a subject.

5)     Furbabies kisses.

6)     Holding a newborn~anything.

7)     Watching a mother animal instinctively know how to care for a newborn, the first time.

8)     God’s infinite mercy and grace and love.

9)     A hug from someone who genuinely loves me.

10)  A wedding.

11)  Reading a book that I am incapable of putting down.

12)   Love.

13)  A sunset, especially over water. (I’d probably enjoy a sunrise, too, IF they happened a little later in the day.)

14)  Cooking something for someone who really enjoys eating it.

15)  Having my entire family in one place for hours.

16) My life.

Okay, not all of these things literally leave me breathless, but they do make me very happy and a couple of them really do take my breath away, momentarily.

What leaves YOU breathless?

  1. I have mine started, but not finished. I knew I should finish it before I read yours. Once again our minds are in sync and we were thinking along the same lines. Mine is a little different though, so I'm going to finish it. I'm not reading anymore until I finish mine, though. I don't want to have to start all over. Then I might have to go with mushy, or steamy, or, or ?

    1. I usually don't read before I finish. I had this one done, but it was similar to Mimi's and I thought maybe a couple others were close, though not lists. I went with it anyway.
      I did think about steamy, but I just did that a couple weeks ago. Too much steam is not good for old women. Another reason for passing on Shades of Gray. :-)

  2. Most of the above, plus running downstairs-upstairs 10 times. Just trying to inject a little humor here. :) Love you.

    1. HA HA right there with you on the exercise thing! hahahahahha I make it a priority to include running up and down stairs daily! Okay, not a priority, but the freezer, the washer, the dryer and Sadies grooming area are down there, so I DO go down once or twice a day. Love you, more. ♥

  5. Can very much identify with #11. I don't read books, I consume them.

  6. Lanky with come hither eyes, short of that a beautifully written sentence, a good book, letting go of a hurt, discovery of something I never knew about myself, and pretty much anything my kids say when we are bantering about life or watching a movie.

    1. What a nice list. I agree with letting go of a hurt, feels life changing.
      Thanks for sharing, Brenda.

  7. A marvelous list. You'd love the wild baby bunny that romps on our lanai.

  8. What a lovely list. I can identify with a lot of them, except the grandchildren - but I know what you mean.

    1. Thanks and I imagine a ton of people would agree with my incomplete list. I believe my list would actually be pages long if I included every single breath stealing moment of my life.

  9. Love your list Jo! We do have a lot in common!

  10. This is a wonderful list; however, I'd limit the newborns to specific things. There are some newborns I wouldn't want to touch!
