How do you enjoy life?
Though there's little left to enjoy nor do I know how long is left, I enjoy photography.

What do you enjoy?

2. here's what I enjoy:
- talking to my sweetie while holding hands
- drinking wine
- doing a nice piece of design
- that high you get after working out really hard
- the sight of a large old tree against a beautiful sky
- learning about history and the mystery of outer space
- reading books by great writers

thanks for the question.... sometimes I question what makes life worth living.

3. Wouldn't mind seeing some of your latest work either!

I so enjoyed your pics of the river and bridge near your hometown...

Most of the time I have found joy in experiencing things together with people I really like, doing things I love doing - get lost in doing - and in doing something to make someone else have pleasure or comfort.

Oh, I forgot....walking in nature with my dog is a major source of pleasure, peace, and enjoyment these years!

8. Thanks!
In "Dusk'n'Dawn" on my website, I added a few more of the Stillwater Lift Bridge... I got tired of the dusk blue skyline, so I waited for purple and red...

5. photography is one of mine
although I don't up much planning into it, nor do I know the science of photography. I enjoy experimenting w/ composition immensely.

Although I am generally happy w/ my life, I can't really finger anything I do specifically to enjoy life. I'm kinda sad that this seems to require some thought.

6. Meditation, prayer, and zkr
It adds an appreciation for the beauty that is all around us and gives one a thankfulness for what one has. Lastly, it gives one the courage to go one.

(zkr, for those who don't know, is a ceremony of remembrance done by Sufis, and can include chanting, singing, and dancing)

7. enjoy it or avoid it
I enjoy it all, all the time. Even if I need to do something like clean up my house, I do it in a way that I find interesting. For example, a section of my writing course is called "classification." It's about how to sort concepts out and put them together in a logical way. So I will review my chapter contents and apply them to cleaning up my house, using "classification."

So I guess that I would say what I enjoy most about life is finding a way to make it always interesting, always fun.

The parts I can't enjoy (like boring people or repukes), I avoid.

11. Find one good thing a day
Today: Got to spend 4 hours in bed this morning reading the Sunday paper with my cat.

I'm also enjoying life by being a perpetual student, looking out for interesting speakers, books, etc.
