The things that I love

The scent of sweet peas
The colour of my front door
That bumble bees have built a nest in my house wall this summer
The feeling of my godson’s arms round me when he doesn’t want me to leave
How when I am running the only things that exist are the fall of my feet and the sound of my breathing
That the thing that makes me a better runner is running
That the rainbow I saw today was both a beautiful scientific phenomenon and a work of nature
That even at my age staying up all night is fun
How some words only exist in one language
How some concepts only exist in one culture
How when you speak a language it defines your thoughts
And then your thoughts define the language that you speak
The creativity of creative people
The energy of people old and young who have a passion for something
The way a well walked road always seems shorter the more you walk it
The way my horse always knows when we turn back to home
Being in the company of friends
The taste of ripe cherries
Loyalty
Laughter
The moment when you smile
