Ten Little Things That Make Life Worth Living

[itsxpaperdoll]

I got this idea from some magazine in the canteen at my work. I think it's nice. The point is, you make a list of ten little things that make being alive worthwile. Little things, so not Love, or Friendship or Faith, cos they're big things. Here's my list (more or less in order):

10 Stephen Fry
9 Chocolate
8 Shopping for shoes
7 Good looking comedians
6 Sleeping
5 The air after it has rained (only in summer, though. Winter rain sucks)
4 Watching films in bed
3 Books on history
2 Going to rock concerts
1 A nice sunny day in some picturesque village in the south of Europe, with the smell of lavender in the air, and then sitting outside some bar, drinking a good, cool, glass of wine in the shade and watching old medditeranean people walk by.



Now it's your turn ^^

6. Skittles. Ohh yeah. I'm not actually allowed them 'cause, you know, E numbers, make me high and jittery, but I have them. A lot. mmm.
7. Music. If there wasn't music to listen to and calm me down, I think I'd have gone crazy long ago.
8. The Buffy Boards. Despite always feeling as though no one here really likes me a lot of the time, I feel at home here, it's nice.
9. My neice. I know I said family earlier, and I swear she hates me (She's smiled at me like once XD) but she's so cute and perfect.

3. The sunset on the ranch in Mexico when there's nothing but you and the sky and fresh, clean air.

5. A combination of mint and chocolate or mint and mocha or peanut butter and chocolate.
6. The moment when you and someone you meet both realize you really like the same thing... a brief moment when two souls meet and the feeling of kindred spirits overtakes you.
7. Music. The way it expresses every subconscious thought and feeling and takes you on a journey through emotions that is only possible on the train of instruments.
8. Staying up late talking with someone you love just because you can. Because one or the other needs to, or just wants to, and not caring what time it is when you finally go to bed.
9. The look on someone's face when you've surprised them in a way that makes their day in a way they'd never thought possible.
10. A hot cup of tea (Earl Grey) and a nice, steaming scone with a jar of clotted cream. For a very brief moment, you are in heaven, and the lady (or lord) of your house. You, in that moment, could associate with nobility and no one would bat an eye.

And, a very, very special mention to chocolate. Because it's just perfect.

And the Dropkick Murphys' rendition of "The Green Fields of France."

Also, someone playing "Bonnie Doon." And bagpipes in general. 🙂 And sunrise over the ocean in Maine. And.... 😉
