That thought occurred to me today. Not many people are able to do it, but if you could, you'd spend your days exploring the deepest reaches of your mind and writing about it in poems.

Very inspiring lecture by professor
I was really moved by this video sent by a friend. It's a great primer on life and what really counts.
Randy Pausch has terminal cancer and is given just a few months to live. He goes over his life and what he has learned. Something we can all learn from. His message: live life to the fullest, dream big, and don't give up.

simple pleasures are the most reliable pleasures
Continuing on with the favorite activities theme, I was listening to the radio the other day and heard this intriguing sentence: "simple pleasures are the most reliable pleasures"
After thinking about it for a while it really makes sense. The everyday little pleasures are what make life enjoyable. Like the hot cup of tea in the morning, or reading an email from a friend, or listening to some new music that captivates us.
The big activities such as a vacation to a far away place are just too complex to take in and too infrequent to count on.
It gives us something to look forward to, but they are over with way too quickly and then we find ourselves with just some memories and photos to muse over.
The everyday simple pleasures we can count on day after day to carry us through.

- Reading a book sitting by the window
- A nice hot shower
- Cooking up a simple meal
- Sitting by a fire and staring into the flames
