It has been awhile since I have made a long list. Actually, I think the last one I wrote for this blog was “10 Weird Things About Me”. I just don’t want to forget all the beautiful reasons for living and all the things I love so here goes nothing!
- Sunday afternoons
- The way the night sky looks in winter/summer
- ‘Sleeping at Last’ songs. All of them.
- late-night conversations
- laughing so hard that it hurts
- making art
- writing
- road trips
- good books
- understanding complex things
- exploring new places
- and rediscovering old ones
- the smell of autumn
- the warm sun on my face after a long winter
- libraries
- learning something new
- a cup of peppermint tea
- wild blackberries warmed by the sun
- being able to help people
- smiling without caring how crooked my smile is
- listening to stories
- thunderstorms
- finding beauty in the simple things
- and understanding the complex
- Chinese food
- bad puns
- changing my mind
- movies that add meaning to my life
- comfortable silence
- making lists
What do like most about being alive?
