I wrote this for my 'about' page on my blog. The other day I read over it again and it made me happy. Might sound odd but there's something about seeing all the things you like in a list and written down. Can you relate? I like lists. It got me thinking again about making a 'life list' or rather an inspiration list. Chookoloonks wrote a really inspiring and helpful post about making the list and I highly recommend reading it. Highly. It's helpful and inspiring and I've started mine and will share it when I've completed it.
Here's my 'I like' list.

- avocado
- a good cuddle
- a lie-in
- old-fashioned ice cream sodas(especially cherry-vanilla)
- snacks + appetizers + tapas type food (I'm a nibbler)

- climbing into a bed w/just washed linens
- potatoes mash w/gravy
- vintage signage
- depression glass

*I did not intentionally make the list 50. I only learnt it was 50 after selecting and making it a numbered list. Cool! I like that.
