i love that life is full of possibilities, you just have to have a good outlook
peace and love

What’s not to like about life? Funny that when you actually have to start pinpointing things, you get enough to fill a page, if not more…

Sun shining through the window when you wake up, rain when you’re going to sleep, a proper letter or postcard, a song that takes you back, a song that lifts you up, sitting around my dinner table just observing old and new friends eating, talking, laughing, going on a trip, coming home after a trip, seeing teenagers flirt, seeing old people flirt, surprising myself by flirting, finding a discarded piece of furniture on the street that’s perfect for your place, finding money you didn’t know you had in a coat pocket you haven’t used for a long time, telling a story and the punch line is so spot on that you get the whole table laughing, the comfortable silence you get with true friends, hearing kids talk about the future with the absolute conviction that they’ll see their goal through…I could go on…

However, my favourite part about life (apart from writing essays extolling it) are all the random strangers you encounter in life! Not in the strangers are just friends you don’t know way but people you will never meet or interact with again and their ability to reach through to you when they have nothing to gain – with a kind word or gesture or even a smile – and the realisation that sometimes that’s all it takes to change the day for the better!

life is beautiful because i don’t understand it.

Coloured flags make me happy.

Life is beautiful with more coffee and better beer. Cheers!

I love that we humans have vivid and powerful imaginations, and that many positive things we once imagined are now real, and that this phenomenon will continue for as long as we all live.

I dig that life keeps delivering the unexpected. Without fail. I dig that I experience the daily miracle of walking the earth and that when my eyes are wide open I know that I live in Nirvana.

I think my favourite thing has got to be that moment when you realize that you have shared something pretty special with someone you hadn’t met before, yet they seem like an old, dear friend.

running into people you haven’t seen in years.

Watching someone you love, sitting next to you, without her noticing, at the movies.

Music that gives you goosebumps. Style that is fresh. Landing a perfect tre flip. Hugging my girl before I start my day. The colorful people that walk the streets of San Francisco. Hanging on by a thread. Not knowing what the future holds. Home cooked meals. Flying cross country to see my family. Friends! The sun!!!

Clean air, blue skies, sunshine,the mountains, the ocean,rainy days, and sleep.

Sunny days and sparkly snail-trails on sidewalks.

yeah man, well spoken. remember on Moser Lane when your mom asked if it is was clear, then you said “Yup,,,,, except for that huge truck!” hahaha, n8 the copilot! I loved her driving gloves too. If we didnt’ have our crazy parents, we would be boring dickheads!

The uncontrollable laughter of a child! Nothing clears everything from you better.

Every day is a gift and new beginning. If you didnt like yesterday then today is fresh and new. And if you did like yesterday then you should check out today – it’s a corker!

I think back to when I was a child, when I would invision my life and what I would surround myself with. My childhood friends and I would argue about the nice cars we would drive, the exotic places we would live and the beautiful women we would marry. I grew up believing in these ideas, then one day it occurred to me, everything I enjoy in my life has nothing to do with the childhood ideals I once had. I want to build my life on the fly and collect as many experiences and opportunities as I can. I realized in that moment that there is a huge difference between what I “want” and what I “need”. And right now what I “need” is to keep living and keep discovering the World. Discovering something new every day makes me the happiest.

What makes my day is taking to my parents on the phone and knowing they are ok and in good spirits (I live in Canada and they live in South America so we don’t get to see each other too often).

I dig a girl. Met her one month ago. She smells like creativity. We laugh.

Getting up early enough to catch a different version of the position of the sun.

A fresh blanket of snow over the earth.

I love the rolling green grass and dogwoods blooming in Virginia, where we went to visit our relatives last weekend. The birdsong is amazing – first thing in the morning it sounds like it is amplified.

Life is amazing because it is ever-changing. There are the obvious and noticeable variations, like the four seasons and wrinkles on my face. But there are also the imperceptible changes, like my ever-morphing perceptions of myself and others, and on a larger scale, the Chandler wobble of the earth. I find these processes intriguing and compelling.

My wife for the huge part of my happiness my friends for all the laughing part and looking at small living animals and things like snails, spiders, ants etc…
