IF...

On April 7th , the Duchess posted a thoughtful essay of
"IF"s.
It has stayed with me and I have enjoyed it as
a thought provoking look at myself.
Thank you, Duchess! I'm so happy to have crossed paths with you!
Why not try filling in the blanks for yourself?!
:)
If I were a month, I would be April.
If I were a day of the week, I would be Saturday.
If I were a time of day, I would be sunrise.
If I were the weather, I would be sunny with a lilac scented breeze.
If I were a direction I would be north.
If I were a scent, I would be coffee.
If I were a tree, I would be a birch
{although my friends might say I was a Weeping Willow! }.
If I were a flower, I would be a Pink Rose , a Peony, or a Hydrangea.
If I were an animal, I would be a bluebird.
If I were fine bone china, I would be a pink rose teacup.
If I were a car , I would be a 1953 Chevy Pick-up Truck!
If I were a drink, I would be Champagne.
If I were a fruit I would be a strawberry.
If I were a dessert, I would be Strawberry Shortcake with whipped cream.
If I were a perfume, I would be Chanel # 5.
If were a gemstone, I would be a pink diamond or tanzanite.
If I were a castle, I would be the one pictured above.
If I was a musical instrument I would be a saxophone.
If I were a song, I would be "Jesus Loves Me."
If I were a color I would be pink or sage green.
If I were an emotion, I would be contentment.
If I were a taste, I would be sweet & salty.
If I were a museum, I would be the Louvre.
If I were a country, I would be America.
If I could be any one,
I would be
the best
me
I
could
be!
And you?...

  7. I love to read your "if". I just wish that I could ask you the why's. For example, why would you be "sunrise"? Why would you be "champagne"? Yes, I think I will try it myself. I do know that I wouldn't be sunrise. I like to sleep in too much! I hope everything is going well for you. School will be out soon, girl!

  8. Jan, I can most certainly relate to your comment. You want to know all the "why's" and I was thinking about my own answers and thinking that I couldn't possibly leave it at one word!! I would need to explain (in detail) why I chose the answer I did. :)
    HA HA it's the blabber-mouth in me. I guess I didn't get this impulse from my mother!!
    LOVE YOUR LIST, MOM!! :)
