a new spin

i was going to write a blog about my day and list all the people that i find highly annoying and that impede my progress (which makes them a sin...) but instead i have decided to spin it to a positive note.
what follows is a list of qualities in people that make me happy (list is not meant to be all inclusive and is NOT in order of importance):

1. honesty
2. humour
3. good vocabulary
4. candour
5. ability to see the positive in others (i need to work on this myself)
6. unprejudiced and interested in learning about different ideas and people
7. timeliness (i'm guilty here again)
8. good work ethic
   
9. sense of pride in accomplishments and supportive of others
10. respectful of themselves and others
11. ability to be silly
12. good sense of direction (literallly and metaphorically)
    
13. responsibility for actions and choices
14. big picture thinkers
15. enjoy popcorn, apples, hot air balloons and good music

all that being said... my day feels better all ready.

i am very grateful today for the weather (clear blue skies with sunlight as bright and clean as it was in late July / early August), for the popcorn i just made at work, for having a friend to call when i'm feeling a little overwhelmed and panicked about my impending move south and lastly but certainly not least for ice water - which i can't seem to get enough of today.
