What do you like about your life?

[Heidi]

I was thinking this morning about how CMW and I don't live in a big villa like many of our friends; we don't have 1.5 beautiful little half American, half-Swiss-Italian children; we don't own a car or even an electric clothes dryer. But we chose this life and we like it.

What I like about my life:
- I like that I somehow managed to wait out my own choice to remain alone until when/if I met another human bean who shares my worldview and works hard to practice it.
- I like that my circle of friends is small and real and very diverse, both in "real" life and at DU.
- I like that my cat is snoring nearby.
- I like that I have an American nephew who is still young enough to envision me as a beautiful, kind stranger who sends him 50-packs of Lunar Licks (sweet/sour lollipops) and allows his parents to worry about the dental repercussions.
- I like that I have two lovely teenage Swiss goddaughters who learned English from me when they were little and are now appreciating the fact that, if you speak English, you can communicate with just about any guy you meet, wherever you go. ;)
- I like that my cat pajamas (exactly like RetroLounge's cowboy pajamas, except mine have cats printed all over them) are clean and sweet-smelling and waiting for me to jump into them tonight.

YOUR TURN.
