Recently, a co-worker of mine was going around and asking (out of interest, although it seemed strange at the time), "What are the reasons you rejoice?"

I decided to take some time (since I am stuck in my bed anyway) to write down all the reasons why I think life is worth living;

-blue skies - the colors of fall leaves - a brand new song, one that gives you shivers about the past - a good book - the perfect new dress -4:30pm on a Friday -a laugh with a friend -Starbucks in the morning -a vacation -a piece of art that sticks in your head -that feeling you get when your riding down the mountain -the way the sun turns our body brown and our minds at ease in summertime -a good purchase -a pint of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia -a old movie -

(more to come...)
