Brad said...: Here's another version that introduces me using the same structure. Note how it follows my original but provides different details.

Love gazing at the night sky on Denman Island, collecting oysters at low tide, speeding on a bike down a mountain road (all the while hoping not to hit a small stone), chatting with my wife in the evening, the feeling you get when the Canucks score an overtime goal.

Loved my time in university, but haven’t considered going back. Loved my little kids, but they’ve grown up and moved away.

Look at life as a series of adventures; know that chances come one at a time.

Tiffany said...: Love biking down a hill when cherry blossoms, wandering along the quay walk in the summer twilight, watching the red leaves falling from the maple trees, making snow angels on the white fluffy ground, the feeling you get when the sun shines after the long gloomy rains.

Loved my old cuckoo clock, but it didn’t strike right. Loved my plastic records but hardly play them any more.

Look at life flying through the rainbow; sense that all my loves are treasured in my mind.

Tiffany said...: I'm wondering if "cherry blossoms" or "cherry blossom" is a noun. If it is, I'd like to change a word in my first sentence, and post my entry again. :)

Love biking down a hill during cherry blossoms, wandering along the quay walk in the summer twilight, watching the red leaves falling from the maple trees, making snow angels on the white fluffy ground, the feeling you get when the sun shines after the long gloomy rains.

Loved my old cuckoo clock, but it didn’t strike right. Loved my plastic records but hardly play them any more.

Look at life flying through the rainbow; sense that all my loves are treasured in my mind.

Brad said...: I'd write it this way:

Love biking down a hill when cherries blossom

The plural works better as it implies multiple trees and many many blossoms! A lovely image by the way.; February 6, 2010 at 3:58 PM
Tiffany said...: Yea, I thought to describe many cherry trees then. I'd like to rewrite it in your way.

Thanks, Brad! :D; February 6, 2010 at 10:30 PM

Anonymous said...: Love eating a moonless chocolate still longing for it, walking through vivid fields full of blossoms, flying in the air(with my large pinion), heart to heart with my life partner over the fullness of time, the feeling you get when everybody participate in prayer.

Loved to hang out with my childhood friends in India, but now we are miles apart from each other. Loved my rabbit, but he died long time ago.

Loved to live without any borders, but life designed tight limits.
