My Favorite Earthly Possession

[lizbud]

I think I've narrowed it down to one thing, but want you to name yours.

[Karen]

I do not think I could narrow it down! In a few minutes I came up with so many, and choosing one over the others, well, cannot do it!

Think about it for awhile. Oh, and our Pets don't count is this instance,
besides they're family.

Can it be a tie between several things? hahaha

It's between my MacBook Pro/camera/car/bed/multiple sentimental items... I don't think I can pick just one

[pomtzu]

Impossible to pick just one:

Family photos
My mother's diamond engagement ring
Car
Computer
Lighthouse collection
My first teddybear

And in that order.........

The longer I think, the more I could add.

The ring my husband gave me.

[Scooter's Mom]

I have to choose the ring my mom loved the most, it was her diamond anniversary band. She always told me when she bought a new ring, "See what you get when I die?" and she would laugh. She had a weird sense of humor.

I chose that ring in particular because she loved it so much, and it was the last jewelry item she actually was able to purchase at a store before her illness kept her bedridden. I didn't choose my other items of jewelry because they are from people who are still here, and sad to say it but there is no love like a mother's love. Friends and spouses may come & go, but in my life - the love my mother gave me was forever, even though she's been gone 10 years.

Now why'd you have to go and make me all teary eyed? That was sweet.

I was going to say my Droid but it would have to be whatever camera I have at the time. Photography makes me feel so alive and happy.

Our home. It's ours. It's paid for. And it's full of people and cats that I love.

[Alysser]

I'd have to say, if I could only pick ONE, it would be my car. I have so many good memories in that car already and have only had it for about a year now..it's fully paid for and it's MINE, never gave me problems yet, it's gorgeous, it is customized as MINE, it takes me to where awesome memories happen, it allows my family and friends to be closer in that way and accessible.

If I had the option to choose a few more I'd pick my laptop and my phone as well as my camera. They all allow me to do so much, keep in touch with loved one especially, which I love.

As for photos well, of course I find those important to, but I will always have the memories of the amazing things I've done. Photos don't help me all that much in that respect.

I like kuhio's response - our home is also paid for, it's all ours for as long as we want it to be.

Inside this home, I guess I would say my Grandfather's Clock. It really is my Grandfather's clock. It's over 100 years old, and I can remember as a child seeing it standing tall and elegant just to the left of the fireplace in my grandparent's home. Every time I wind it, I think of how many times my grandfather wound it - so many years ago. It keeps perfect time and plays the Westminster tune every 15 minutes.

Very good idea for a thread Lizbud! Never in a million years could I narrow it down to one! I'll have to think long and hard about this.

[lizbud]

I think my one favorite is my house. It's all mine & almost paid for too.
It's my favorite for all the freedom it affords me. It's a great place to
keep all the other favorite worldly possessions.

My body pillow. I it. Also, my iPhone. I it too.
