Thanks for the tag, I love stuff like this because I get to talk about my favorite subject, which is me:
1) My husband and son. They are both history nerds. Russ was a history major and now that Zack is heading off to college in August, he’s considering at least a minor in the field. I love to sit back and listen to them discuss and debate esoteric history things that I know nothing about. They also have the same goofball sense of humor which includes puns and making up ridiculous songs. (Russ’s birthday song was: “Happy birthday to me, I just turned 63. I don’t drive at night, ‘cause I can’t FUCKING SEE.”)
2) My crew. I have five wonderful friends that I have curated over the years and they are the best people I know and we text each other funny things that made us think of the other and I swear I would have lost my mind during this pandemic without them. They make me laugh and pull me out of my doom and gloom moods constantly and we’re all low maintenance and can go for weeks without checking in and we know we still love each other.
3) Shaw Nature Reserve. I’m never happier than when I’m hiking or communing with trees or finding cool fungi or listening to a frog chorus and I can do all of that in one day at SNR. We visit two or three times a month and spend most of the day, even in the winter.
4) Writing. I am terrible at it but it’s necessary for my mental health. I write but I don’t share and that’s best for everyone.
5) People who are kind. Anyone with positive, loving, encouraging energy. I can’t bear people who rant or complain or find fault. I’m too old for that.
