Thinking about the ā5 things that make you happyā post, I was trying to express my list visually. Iām not very visual.
Number 1: the sea. I love the sea. I respect the sea. I would marry the sea if I were poly. See my Ocean tag. Also see this.
2. Weather where I can wear things like this. (It is currently 8 am and 95/31 degrees). See #fashion
3. Science. I love that there is still so much stuff to figure out. See #science tag. The photo below is from this site.
4. Cooking. I love cooking for others. My efforts are usually posted under the Sunday Dinner tag. Today I am having friends over and serving them fennel and tarragon sausages that I made a week ago. (The photo is bitterballen that I made recently.)
5. Travel. I love that we have such an incredible world to explore. I took the photo below from a bullet train in Japan so I didnāt have time to get the settings right, but I love the old lady farmer, the truck with the harvest, the golden sun. Itās one of my all time favourites.
6. Photography. It keeps me sane and has kept me alive at times. There is so much to notice and share. See also: nature. My original photos are tagged Originalphoto. A link to my photography side blog is in my bio.
7. Monday mornings. Really. Especially very early. The week is full of potential. I post a quote every Monday under my Monday Morning Quotes tag. šš
8. Action. I am very biased towards inaction. I plan. I consider. I strategize. I am now consciously making sure I do. This is related to #7. An example is under my Beach Cleanup tag. Quotes are under #action
9. Kindness. Iām not always nice, but I try to always be kind.
10. Being alone. See my Introvert tag.
11. (Should be #2): Accuracy. I get sidetracked with quibbles and I am open to new information and I am a little too much like Cliff Clavin. #accuracymatters
12. History, art, books, humans. We are really amazing.
13. End user design. I try to do everything with empathy.
