      Money in the bank, bills paid, relationships good, loved ones happy, warmer weather, clean house, having a shower, few responsibilities, my oil diffuser. I also like 60's/70's music, wearing hippie clothes, smelling good and reading a fun book. Weird stuff, some material, others not.

        Having access to an automobile - hop in, drive where you want to go spontaneously!

                For me, it's indulging in my favourite choc and watching my favourite TV shows.

                                                    I do crosswords or play mahjong on my phone. If that doesn't help I'll watch cricket on tv with my dog on my lap to cuddle.

                                                        The most important thing for me is having a positive attitude to life continue to move forward and not look back. at 37 my hearing is on a decline I am permanently going deaf in both ears and there will come a time where I won't able to walk probably someday. rather than dwell on it I choose to accept it and continue moving forward. I also enjoy art, crochet, adult colouring, paper craft all types of crafts, listening to music via pain meds for my chronic pain. it sends my brain on a short vacation.

It is a beauteous evening, calm and free, The holy time is quiet as a Nun Breathless with adoration; the broad sun Is sinking down in its tranquility; The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the Sea; Listen! the mighty Being is awake, And doth with his eternal motion make A sound like thunder—everlastingly. Dear child! dear Girl! that walkest with me here, If thou appear untouched by solemn thought, Thy nature is not therefore less divine: Thou liest in Abraham's bosom all the year; And worshipp'st at the Temple's inner shrine, God being with thee when we know it not.

Others are not invited, I go to my room and watch movies or play video games, then the others can take over the pool. Or sometimes I do surveys and discussion boards.
