I love little baby ducks

[serene]

kightp picked the perfect day to ask this question. Someone I really respected died; I'm sick as a dog; work is using all my braincells; my niblings are having serious troubles that I can't fix...


...and yet, her post managed to make me really happy, and that's a lovely lovely accomplishment.



An incomplete list of the things I love:

1. myself
2. my partners
3. my mother
4. my niblings
5. the beauty of complexity
6. getting lost in a book
7. California sunsets
8. good sushi
9. good watermelon (haven't had good watermelon in years -- what's up with that?
10. being good at stuff
11. geeks
12. learning stuff that's just on the edge of my ability to understand it
13. driving the I-5 in the middle of the night at 90mph with a bottle of iced tea (sweetened, no lemon) and a bag of barbecued corn-nuts
14. people who do what's right even when it costs them something
15. being one of those people
16. feeding people
17. buying people things
18. baking the bread we eat
19. being a "housewife"
20. writing, reading, hearing, and performing poetry
21. board and card games
22. a deep sleep (haven't had one of those in a while, either)
23. singer/songwriters
24. my shower curtain
25. actually, my whole apartment
26. and my neighborhood
27. including my community garden, the local coffeeshops, and the neighbors
28. honey-dijon kettle chips
29. Thai food
30. walking until my legs are warm and tired
31. street fairs
32. coincidence
33. the natural world (as distinct from "nature" -- I'm not much of a forests-and-streams kind of girl, but the world around me, from the native plants of the Bay Area to the processes that make my body do what it does, fascinates and delights me)
34. doing silly things for the hell of it
35. my life; I love my fucking life
