Life's Consistent Joys

1. Pajamas.

3. Meeting extraordinary people: Here's to Conly, Evan, and Maria.
4. Organic chocolate milk (I am still writing about it).
5. "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?".
6. Clue, the board game and "Clue", the film.
7. Having a show that you look forward to every week... that being "Heroes" and "Smallville".
8. Seeing your new dwelling for the first time.
9. Getting paid to do that activity that you would do for free.
10. New chapters awaiting...
11. Singing for nothing other that the sheer joy of music.
12. The number 12. 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12.
13. Writing your thoughts out and expressing them to the best of your ability.
14. Naps.
15. Fedoras.
16. An excellent home-cooked meal.
17. Having love in your life.
18. Laughing like a little child with full abandonment.
19. Having a new idea burst forth in your heart and being so overwhelmed by it that you have to jot it down, thus giving it its birth to the world.
20. Creation for creation's sake: writing, coloring, dancing, daydreaming.
21. Being glad to be alive.
22. Feeling that you are liked by many people whom you also like and that Karma has heaped her blessings on you after years of the living on the side of the "not cool" coin.
23. After all the darkness, emerging light.
24. Finally, loving yourself for all the good, the bad, the grey, and the oddities therein, realizing that is who you are right then... :-)
25. Singing like an operatic woman (in falsetto).
26. Chinese Pig-Latin.
27. The word "poppet".
28. Taste buds.
29. The way clothes feel when they are fresh from the dryer.
30. Colours and their brilliance and vibrance.

(I did a top 30 without realizing it... A clever homage to my age... I shall conclude there) :-)

Wishing your own pursuit of joys:
Dustin (after Dustin Hoffman)
Ashley (after Ashley Wilkes in "Gone with the Wind")
Beam (hmmmm.... because that is my last name poppets.)
