Ten Things I love Most in the World

Ten Things I love Most in the World…

1. Mother Nature has been the number one love in my life for longer than I can remember. My idea of heaven would be to live in a forest with a river nearby.

2.  The way I feel about horses goes way beyond love. Sometimes I think I must have been a horse in a former life, from the strong and powerful connection I seem to have with them.

3.  I have always been a bit of a freak for thunderstorms. The noise, barely contained power and the majesty of the lightning speaks to me in ways I cannot describe.

4.  Whenever I have spare time, and even when I don’t, I have to track down a puzzle. It can be a jigsaw, a computer game, or a simple game of solitaire. My idea of heaven.

5.  Something about the smell of the sea communicates directly with my soul, and I think I could easily live on a beach. They say that salt water is a good healer, so how much more could sea water do?

6.  The art of bonsai has always fascinated me, and over the years, I have collected some of my own. Like having children, they need so much care and attention, but give back so much more to their carer.

7.  My love of writing has grown out of my love for reading, and my appreciation of all my favourite authors. On the good days when I don’t doubt my abilities, it is the best thing in the world.

8.  Most people hate the rain, but I love it. Getting soaked to the skin is an amazing experience, and if there is thunder and lightning too, so much the better!

9.  Making people laugh has to be one of the most rewarding things you can do. I love to know I have lifted someone’s spirits just enough to make them laugh.

10.  I never thought I would enjoy blogging as much as I do, when I first started. In the beginning, I was hopeless, didn’t have a clue and knew no one. So much has changed since then…

Ten Things I Hate Most in this World

1.Cruelty of any kind comes top of this list, for there is far too much of it in this world. It is far easier to be kind.

2.  Rudeness comes a close second, as I cannot understand the need for it. It closes too many doors that eventually will refuse to open again.

3.  Arguments. Every time I get involved in one, I want to crawl away and die. Life is much too short to argue.

4.  Hangnails are my least favourite thing, and I get some shockers. No matter how careful you are, your fingers get sore.

5.  I hate the cold. As I get older, it’s becoming a real problem. Sometimes, even on a mild day, I have trouble keeping warm.

6.  Things that go wrong. I’m a bit of a perfectionist and try very hard to get things right, but far too often these days, it just doesn’t happen, no matter what I do.

7.  Computers. These should be on the top of this list, as they tend to drive me insane. They are illogical and unreasonable, but we know we cannot do without them.

8.  Feeling helpless. Closely linked with number seven, this is what PC’s do to me. Nothing else on this planet can make me quite as angry as a computer.

9.  Injustice. I hate all forms of injustice, acerbated by the certain knowledge there is nothing you can do about most of it.

10. Weakness. Mainly my own. So many things I wish I didn’t need to do, like the biscuits I cannot leave alone. How I can be so strong with everything else, but such a wimp when it comes to food is a mystery…

Would anyone like to share their likes and dislikes on our post? We would love to hear from you…

        I take it you’re referring to the snow and not that-which-shall-not-be-named :) … we usually get 5-10 cm that stays on the ground for a while … mind you 2 winters ago we had a meter that stayed for weeks and weeks … we actually had snow on the ground from early December to February! … so, in these ‘interesting times’, who knows. :)

          Even when its forecast, we rarely get any. I have to rely on everyone else’s photographs for a snow fix …

    A great post. I love all the same things that you do except for puzzles as I get a bit frustrated when I can’t find the right piece. We have some amazing thunderstorms in South Africa with lots of thunder and lightning. You dislikes list is also a great list, especially the one about computers. I would add to that that when they don’t work they cause chaos as we are so reliant on them and I hate that.

    I totally agree with you about rain. We never get enough of it here in summer, but sometimes a bit too much in winter.

    I agree with most of your selections except thunderstorms, I’m not a fun of them. I’d put family in their place and move it up to number one. I enjoy puzzles but I’d replace that slot with a general category of crafts, because I do so many different ones. I definitely have a love-hate relationship with computers.

        Maybe that’s what scares me, Mother Nature’s power :) plus I’ve been in too many damaging ones. Someone’s got to like them though. :)

    I love my family and home. I love the feeling of connecting and making a new friend. I do love tech and computers. I love finding the perfect gift for someone. I love to laugh- oh that sounds like a song. Not much I don’t like- well no one likes getting a cold right? I don’t like picking the wrong line at the grocery. Oh and I liked your post!
