When you wake up, what is the first thing you hear? Is it something annoying? Like the repetitive beeping of the alarm. Or is it something wonderful? Like your favorite music being played. It got me to thinking about my favorite sounds. So here are my thirteen favorite sounds.
1- The sound of my kids’ laughter.
2- The sound of birds chattering in the trees. Even at five in the morning. I would rather wake up to the sound of birds whistling then the annoying “BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!” of the alarm.
3- The truck. I know that sounds weird. But when I hear the truck that means my husband is home from a hard day at work.
4- I love you. Hearing that, especially from my children makes my heart feel like it has expanded by the nth degree.
5- Thunderstorms. Not only do I love the smell of storms, but I love the sound. The rumble of the thunder. It is so romantic.
6- Hip hop. I love to dance. Listening to hip hop and dance music makes my body want to break out and start dancing, no matter where I am.
7- Swing music. I love the big band era. My husband and I love to swing dance, although we don’t know much. My goal is to eventually be able to take swing lessons.
8- Waterfalls. The sound of rushing water. There is something about nature that gives me a great sense of peace.
9- Silence. Ironic I know. But there is something about silence. We all need some peace and quiet in our life.
10- Mechanic garage. The sound of the tools whining, the hoist, the drills, etc. Everything there is to do with a mechanic’s shop just gets my goat.
11- Theme music. When theme music for my shows comes on I know it is time to relax and watch a little television.
12- Wind. The wind rushing through the trees is beautiful. I love to stand on my front porch and just breathe in the air.
13- Motor. This is going to sound odd, but when I am in a vehicle (passenger not driving) I love the sound of the motor. It has me getting sleepy. It makes me very relaxed, to the point where I could just fall asleep.
So what about you? What are your favorite sounds? Are they the same as me? Or something different? Tell me.

14 years agoAt this point, it’s the sound of my husband’s ring tone! Followed shortly by the sound of his voice. *sigh* And I will have to go with you on the “I love you!” The other sound I love to hear is Diesel’s whine when I get home from being gone. It starts as a whine & winds up into a full-blown howl. Makes me know that someone missed me while I was away.
