Okay. Well this idea has been in my head since around 2010. I’ve had one of those idea days where my head has swirled full of thoughts and ideas to the point of feeling pretty dizzy… or maybe because I tend to stand up too quickly. Anyway… 

Whether you know me personally, or not. I’d like to say I am interested in you and what makes you tick! I want you to write me a list of your favourite things. It doesn’t matter whether we have spoken before, whether you have happened upon my blog by a happy mistake. Whatever, it doesn’t matter.

What matters is your participation. For without it, the idea is just that.

THE IDEA:

I want to collect individual lists of people’s favourite things and then turn those lists in to something magical, eye catching and heart warming in the form of a book. The book would be a mixture photography and words. I think it would be nice to be involved in something positive like this. And who knows you could learn something new about yourself… when was the last time you sat down to compile a list of what makes you happiest?

So all I ask of you is to (anonymously if you wish – but names are nice ) e-mail me a list of your favourite things to Jenndo@mac.com

This can be a list in bullet point form or a paragraph of text. Tell me what your favourite things are… past times, activities, sounds, smells, people, hobbies, colours…Whatever comes to mind. It’ll be good for you.

To get started I will share a friends favourite things, that he was kind enough to share with me.

I love my motorbike, I love that when I ride it I smell like nature and that my ears ring because of the noise of the wind, the way my hands go numb in the cold and how I can hold the engine and warm them up.

I love going for rides and getting lost ..seeing places and people that I have never seen… and may never see again.

I love the fact that at the same time it’s your best freind and your worst enemy.

I love listening to rock music…music that you can feel in you chest and gives you energy and a zest for life….early Motorhead does this for me.

I love nature of all kinds…I love sitting in the sun and getting soaked by the rain… there’s no such thing as bad weather…just the wrong kind of clothes!

I love random strangers smiling at me….even if they are mental.

And..lastly…dogs..for their unconditional love!

If you want to get involved, just take five minutes out of your day, sit down and think of what makes you happiest. I need as many people as possible, so please don’t be shy. Remember you can submit anonymously.
