In a work setting, I love numbers and making things balance. I like to know whatever I am involved in well, so that I can do it correctly; but that also feeds into my other interest: I like to provide people with accurate information. I enjoy being helpful.
Away from work, my interests lay more in simple pleasures than anything. I like sitting outside at certain times of the day, enjoying the beauty around me. I love a good fire outside at night. I like good conversation. I also enjoy several card games and I adore a good game of Forty-Two (dominoes).
I like to read. I find it hard to describe what I like to read, but I know it when I find it. I also enjoy good movies of many types. Some of my favorites are classics, especially the ones that are funny or lighthearted. (Think Rock Hudson & Doris Day).
I've also always enjoyed the water. I am almost always up for going swimming or simply floating and relaxing in the water. A good meal at a good restaurant with someone I like to talk to is also a great pleasure to me. And, since we don't dine out weekly like many do these days, it's a real treat.
I'll try most anything that appeals to me one time, but if I don't enjoy it, I'll very likely never do it again.
That's my little list of the simple pleasures I enjoy. Are any of these on your list of interests? Which do you share with me? Are there any of mine you dislike?
