Recently at school, during a totally innocuous time — by which I mean that no class time was sacrificed, because for crikey’s sake, think of the children — ahem — we got into a discussion about which sense we would rather lose: sight or sound.
In support of my stance, I present: Sounds I Love or Have Loved
1. when breathing goes from awake to sleep mode
2. placing letters on a scrabble board
3. the opening of a gift
4. flipping the pages of a book
5. flip flops
6. chickens clucking
7. a baseball game on the television on a summer afternoon
8. the ocean waves
9. laughter
10. fingers clicking on a keyboard
11. the “oh! I get it!” of understanding
12. feet scampering on hardwood floors
13. the shuffling of cards
14. the boys when they are talking quietly together
15. my dad’s old blue truck, bringing him home
16. emerging from underwater to hear the kids playing at the lake
17. the hissing and popping of a record on a record player
18. snowfall
19. a raucous mealtime with a large group of people
20. snapping a photograph
How about you? Any favorite sounds?
Stone's Throw Away 
Sounds I love? Yes.
Kids laughing together, when they’re oblivious that adults are listening.
Music. All kinds of music.
Snow falling in the early morning of a snowstorm, when everyone else (but the StormCenter team in their sweaters, of course) is still sleeping.
“I love you, Mumma.”
That being said…. I don’t know which I’d be able to live without more easily. Right now I’m praying I never have to choose.
