The view from the top of a mountain. A spring rainstorm.
I went for a walk in the rain this morning, and with my deep inhalation, I realized that, among other things, I live for the outdoors – when I’m happily able to turn off my computer and cell phone and step outside. I live for nature.
Exception: bugs. I’m not into bugs at all. I would neither live nor die for a bug.
No offense to the bug community.
Here’s what else I live for:
- Playing a song on repeat for at least three hours
- My children’s laughter and smiles
- Any child’s laughter and smiles
- The result of “I think I can, I think I can”
- Seeing old friends and jumping right back into that comfortable, easy conversation
- Getting something right on Jeopardy before any of the contestants do
- Christmas morning
- Chocolate eclairs
- Scrabble
- Anything related to coffee
aaaaah….
At the end of the day, it’s nice to have a gaggle of things that you enjoy – so that, at the end of the day, you can settle into sleep with a sigh and a smile. A sigh, a smile, and the anticipation of a hot or cold cup of joe when you wake up.
Have a great day!
