What sings to your soul? I mean that which really hits the acapella of who you are? Thy drags that long ago smile out of the basement of having a bad day, or it can’t get any worse street? For me, well since you ask… here we go.
Books numero uno. I’ve spent a lot of time alone growing up and in my adult life, I’ve needed an escape. Books have offered that. Whether it was school books, novels, non-fiction, biography, and especially faith-based. The writing on the page transports me to another realm, another dimension where life can make sense. I get to see other lands and experience different times. Mainly I get to take a vacation from whatever is driving me nuts at that second. That and I get to see justice reasonably done. Sometimes you just don’t get that in normal life. I have a good reads page you can look me up, and see how many books I’ve read. My goal this year is 100 and I’m happy to say that I’m ahead of that as of now :D. Okay, I should admit I read fast, and I am mainly a real book reader but, I do have a Kindle, Nook, and Apple books too.
Secondly, spending time with people. Or someone, just that connection of speaking and learning about each other. New friends, old friends, family, just people. Communing with someone, and really sitting down to listen and learn about them is one of my favorite things. For me, it’s that they think enough of me to give what they cannot get back, their time. That they really want to make me a part of their lives. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. And, I love the fact that they trust me enough with who they are as well. What a wonderful responsiblity friendship really is. You also have the flip side of this one as well, you get to trust someone to understand your madness. I get jazzed someone really wants to know all the thoughts in my head.
Sitting with someone discussing a book, okay it’s amazing. To find out that you and someone else on the planet like the same book! Exciting, to share that vacation from real life you took in the borders of those pages, that story that made you think, how wonderful. Okay, I like sharing experiences.
<3,
Me
