What I Enjoy
I know that my personality is somewhat negative. When I watch a play or a movie, I prefer a drama to a comedy. Once in a while, to avoid too much focus on the negative, I try to examine the positive side of life. I try to take note of experiences that I have enjoyed. Here are some that I noticed recently:
- Dancing with Jennifer: She always seems to be so happy that she makes me happy too.
- Greeting people on my morning walk: I like their happy response to my “good morning”. What do you say in the afternoon?
- Having a whole day to myself: It’s a day when I have no obligations. I’m free to do whatever I want.
- Strawberry jam on toast in the morning: It’s tangy, sweet, and tasty.
- Salisbury House nips: I like the grilled onions. This is curious because when I was growing up, I refused to eat onions.
- Dickens stories: I like reading his stories and watching TV series based on his stories. It’s true they give me a view of a past world, but I do like the way that Dickens crafts a story.
- Software development: I obtain a great deal of satisfaction from this activity. It’s a way for me to exercise my creativity and to make a contribution to the greater good.
- Classical music on CBC radio: I listen to this because I like the music, but an essential part for me is the commentaries and the stories told by musicians. They bring the music to life.
- Not being rushed: This is a big one for me. It means that I have plenty of time to relax before the event, and that I can arrive on time. Generally I arrive early so I can relax again before going in.
