Today is my birthday. (To those who live near me, be aware that this groundhog has not seen her shadow this morning, and is not likely to -- very overcast.) In preparation for my glorious 40s (to continue on from my brilliant 30s), I'm taking the Pursuit of Excellence course this weekend. Self-examination all the way...
Here is a concept lifted from Norlinda at 30-something-media-addict, who lifted it from Life Begins at 30 (both lovely lists). I've been working on this one for a couple of days, and it has been a good exercise.

So, in no particular order, some things (25) I will never get tired of:
- a good book
- the first slow gulp of cold beer slipping down my parched throat
- a purring cat
- a cool summer morning and a cup of coffee outdoors
- walking in a snowfall
- laying down a bingo in Scrabble
- standing in the dark nave of a gothic cathedral
- learning something new
- escaping into a delightful movie
- a well-played blues guitar
- dark chocolate
- comprendre quelque chose dans une autre langue
- a really good belly laugh
- crossing things off a To Do list
- a fresh clean sheet of paper
- a gathering of like-minded individuals
- a lovely meadow
- cooking in a stocked kitchen
- controlled retail therapy :p
- the great design of a book or building or object
- road trips, long or short
- words strung together in a surprisingly insightful way
- looking up at the stars
- coordinating the Big Picture
- logic puzzles
Have a great day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
WTF are you doing online? Go have some fun!
Feliz Cumpleaños! (a bit late)
That's a wonderful list. Did you do anything special on the big day?
I spent my weekend, 8 am to 8 pm, Fri/Sat/Sun, in a course, the Pursuit of Excellence. It was wonderful...I'm glad I did it. But it's my 40th -- I'll be celebrating all month! I think I'm going out with my friends on Saturday...
:-)
I never get tired of.....?.....gad, there must be something?
Nope.

A purring cat ... that's a nice one.
Happy 40th!
