A few items

Today i woke up, feeling good about life. My Zeus has finally learnt to sleep by himself in his comfy sherpa bag (dunno why he likes to sleep there, but i'm not complaining). I've sneezed less than 100 times since waking up (i'm allergic to my furry monster) and my roommate is back! So i've decided to make a list of things i love:

1) The sound of crickets outside my window. It reminds me of my childhod summers where i spent them at my granny's in Sardinia. The crickets were always singing their lovely songs and sometimes would really bug me, but somehow they were also a comfort.

2) Summer storms. Also reminds me of my summers. The sky would suddenly turn a dark gray and i'd sit outside taking the aroma in. I loved the way the air smelled just before it rained. Then sitting down in the small part that was covered i'd smilingly watch as the rain fell down to the ground. At first one drop at a time, but before you knew it, it was pouring all over.

3) The smell of the air AFTER it rains... It smells of mud, grass, mold, flowers, birds, happiness and love! it smells of everything that's good.

4) The memory of my granny saying goodbye from the window. Every time we left, whether it was for long trips or short ones. We would always see her smile and wave. I miss that most of all.

5) My granny asking what i wanted to eat: "want buiscuits? watermelon? juice? sweets? nutella?"and when i'd say no to everything she would grumpily say, "may you want nothing!"

6) Seeing the beach and the blue sea, and waiting for that first dip!

7) Kissing my boyfriend. I love the way he smells and feels.

8) Seeing the smiling faces of my family when i arrive at the airport.

9) Zeus.

10) When Zeus wakes me up in the morning bumping his wet nose on my face, touching my face with his paw and if i still dont want to wake up, biting my head!

11) My mother's food.

12) my sisters and brother.

13) Ireland. I lived there for 3 years when i was a child... i loved the people, i loved the place, i loved EVERYTHING!

14) My boyfriend's hugs. When he hugs me i feel he's hugging my entire being.

15) Succeeding. I loved the fact that i was able to hike till the top of mount Sinai even if i'm just a couch potatoe. I love the fact that i graduated with excellent even tho i studied in a language that wasnt my mother tongue...

16) Travelling. Seeing new faces, meeting new people, and especially, tasting the local cuisine.

17) Being called beautiful, being hit on, having someone politely flirt with me (it boosts my ego).

18) Writing. I used to be good at it, i used to write a lot... hopefully i'll get it back...
