Inspired by Inspiration

I draw so much inspiration from my friends, be they bloggers, industry colleagues or simply wonderful people -- I feel lucky at this point in my life to be surrounded by interesting, loving, life-affirming friends. So when I read this piece on Jen's blog, and saw that it had been inspired by another blog I enjoy reading, I knew I was going to steal it. (I think...yes, this is the 2nd time I've done this to Jen!)

25 Things I Never Get Tired Of:

1. Because it's front of mind, being genuinely excited about politics!
2. Looking at my US Passport - I can go almost anywhere in the world with that thing!
3. Watching Bo and The Crazy Puppy play tirelessly
4. The view of San Francisco from midway across the Bay Bridge
5. Sushi
6. The thrill of filling one Moleskin, and unwrapping a new one
7. Crossing something off my "100 Things to Do in the Next 10 Years" list
8. Adding something new to the aforementioned list
9. The smell of jet fuel at the airport
10. Walking down the jetway to go somewhere new and unexplored
11. The look C and I exchange when we eat something delicious or see something magical
12. People smiling at Bo everywhere we go - he just makes people happy
13. A house full of people
14. Those rare moments when I cease to be my brother's "Big Sister", and am just his friend
15. Watching dog shows on TV for glimpses of my favorite breeds: Frenchies, Bulldogs, Mastiffs & Boxers
16. Placing a dog in his or her forever home
17. Catching sight of my tattoo in the mirror - it holds so much significance for me
18. Closing a deal I worked really hard to win
19. Shoes
20. Laughing fearlessly at my own malapropisms: "The wages of sin is war" or "[I know he's a FAM because] he's packing wood."
21. The thrill of really communicating with someone in a new language
22. Finding and using a word in Farsi I didn't know I knew
23. Sharing my heritage with people I care about
24. Sitting in a sun-drenched patch on a cold day
25. Spectacular sunsets

How about you?

i like number 6 too. I accidentally bought two the last time and the second is torturing me sitting on the shelf all shiny in its plastic packaging not yet ready to be used.
