Day 8

Day 8: What are 5 passions you have?

1. Puzzle building.
I love everything about it. I love to set up the table in front of the T.V. and watch silly old movies and chat with cute boys while I sit in my pajamas and enjoy the nothingness on my brain. So much of what I do these days is so mentally exhausting that I feel as though I don't do anything at 100% anymore. Building puzzles clears my brain and lets me enjoy the long hours hunched over placing piece after piece until the whole picture comes together.

2. Walking in the rain.
There is something so calming about walking in a storm. It feels as though I am the only stationary thing in a world that is being tossed to and fro with the torment of a storm. the little pitter pat of rain on the roof used to lull me to sleep and there is something so incredibly wonderful with how Alaska smells after the rain has fallen. There isn't a more clean smell in all the world. The whole earth starts fresh and even though the cold pierces the very core of your body, it is the most vibrant sense of health and alive I've ever felt.

3. Photography.
I like to take pictures, end of story.

4. Writing letters
I think it means so much more when you take the time to write a note down and send it states, and sometime even continents away. Just to let the person on the other end have some comfort from knowing you think of them.

5. Christmas lights
They just make any situation better. We currently have about 10 strands up in our backyard strung through the trees to better serve dessert night. I just like to look at them and remember all the times I had them in my window as a child and how happy they are and make me think of christmas and snow. Also my favorite holiday.
