Top 10 People I Would Love to Chat With

GBE2 Week #44 Prompt - Make a list and give it a name.

     For this week's prompt we are supposed to make a list.  Sounds easy enough...I make lists for everything.  But then I started thinking...hmmmm (scratching my head),  no one wants to read my grocery list or my to-do list; so what would make people want to read my list?   After much thought, I decided to write a list that at least I found interesting and fun to come up with.   I decided to make a list of people whom I would most like to sit down and chat with if it were miraculously possible.  This is definitely a list that I will have to give some thought to.  So, here goes, in no particular order.

1.  The first one came to me instantly.  My Mamaw Williams died

     when I was only 4 years old.  Most of my memories of her are

     from pictures and family stories.  I've always wished I could

     have known her better.

2.  Mark Twain - Who wouldn't want to sit

     down with him and witness first hand 

     his wit and wisdom.   I am  such a fan.  

     Many of his quotes are phenomenal 

     and  among my favorites.  I believe his 

     writing  is  nothing short of genius.

  

3.  Mother Teresa - Mother Teresa is one 

     of the most admired women in history.  I 

     would consider  it a great honor just to be 

     in her presence, let alone  get to talk with 

     her about  her life's work.   I don't think 

     there will ever be a more loving, selfless, 

     generous, yet strong woman than her.

4.  Lucille Ball - I love Lucy!  I've always been a huge 

     fan  and I think she is the funniest female that has ever 

     lived.  Her timing and delivery was impeccable.  But

     also, there was another side to her.  It had to have 

     been  tough back in the early days to make it in a 

     man's world so she also had to be a shrewd business 

     woman.   Oh, the stories I bet she could tell!

5.  Mary, Mother of Jesus - What better example of faith could we

     have.   Her faith was strong enough to face the scorn of society 

     in order to carry the son of God.  I would sit at her feet hoping to

     learn what it's like to have faith that strong.

6.  Benjamin Franklin - American scientist, 

     inventor, statesman, printer and 

     philosopher.  It would be amazing the things

     you could learn from him.  I would have so 

     many questions about so many things.  I 

     would really like to know exactly what the 

     founding forefathers had in mind when they 

     wrote the constitution.   Somehow I think 

     his interpretation would be much different 

     than  what is  accepted by

     today's standards.

7.  Rosa Parks - I can't imagine having the

     courage to do what she did.  She stood 

     up  for what she believed in even 

     though  it could have cost her  her life.  

     I admire  that kind of courage and 

     would love to  hear  how she found that 

     inner strength  and conviction.

 

8.  Katherine Hepburn -   Now there's a 

     woman  who would tell it like it is.  It 

     would be so much fun to sit with her 

     and dish the dirt on the early days in 

     Hollywood.  I'll bet she could tell some 

     stories you've never heard before!

 

9.  Corrie Ten Boom   - Suffered horrible 

     torture and cruelty at the hand of the 

     Nazis at Ravensbrook  concentration 

     camp when after watching her sister 

     die was released because  of a clerical 

     error.  She still kept her faith and 

     went on to help other survivors.  To 

     hear her story in her own words would be 

     unbelievable.

10.  Walt Disney -  What an imagination he had!  

       He  was such a visionary and would be so 

       much fun to talk with!

     I'm sure if given time I could come up with several more interesting people I would love to chat with, but for now these are the ones I would most like to meet.  Who knows, maybe one day after this life I'll actually get the chance to do just that.

Until next time...that's my view.
