I was nominated by Plain Ol’ Vic to complete the love/hate challenge. The love/hate challenge consists of listing ten things that I love and then ten things I hate, then nominate 10 bloggers to do the same.
The first ten things that come to mind (there are so many others):
1. My amazing children.
2. My pets
3. A great cup of Hazelnut coffee with a Krispy Kreme doughnut
4. Waking up and thinking it’s a weekday and then you remember it’s Saturday
5. Blogging, duh.
6. Reading a good book about just about anything.
7. Spring
8. River Otters
9. Road trips
10. My spinach/meat lasagna. (One day I promise to post about this and include the recipe)
1. Mental illness and what it does to people’s lives, especially narcissism
2. Exclusionary politics that places all the blame on the most vulnerable people in society–the poor, sick, disabled, and voiceless.
3. People who get in your face and don’t respect your right to be alone
4. Morning radio shows
5. Fleas
6. Small talk in general
7. Mean and rude people (not all are narcs, some are just mean and rude)
8. Insect wings not attached to the insect
9. Most shellfish
10. Having to listen to people say to me, “why don’t you ask your family for help”?

I hate having to work a day job everyday…I hate when people are mean and devalueing…I hate viciousness..I oversized clothes,..I hate sugar in my coffee…don’t like cult behaviors…
And I wish I could say I hate the Narc I knew…but I actually don’t hate him at all ..
I wish he was like you and me…

Love and hate are such strong emotions, even though the words are often used so casually. While it would be a challenge to list 10 things that I really love, it would not be hard to fill pages and pages with things that I heartily dislike. Hopefully, I don’t “hate” anything or anyone, as that emotion has a way of turning us against ourselves. I appreciate the request to participate, but I think this challenge is too… challenging. 🙂

Great list. Okay – the fleas thing seems kinda random in that list? I am not sure why my phone app would not let me view anything…oh well, glad I hopped on a computer and checked it the “old fashion” way, lol.
