Well, it's the everyday, ordinary things I see, hear, smell and/or touch that I take most for granted. Getting up without an alarm clock makes a happy start. Having someone bring you coffee is great as well. When my car runs, has gas, and I can afford to have one, that's everyday magik. And when there is nothing that I have to do, and I can eat chips, watch Angel reruns and veg out--at least for that day--there's renewable magik afoot!
My goal in life, from early childhood, ("What do you want to be when you grow up, dear?") has always been the same: Rich & Idle!
Before it was an option for girls, I used to say jet pilot, then graduated to astronaut, but secretly, Rich & Idle has always been the real thing. Not that I ever achieved this goal--I've put in my 1000+ years of mind-numbing drudgery same as most everyone else. I guess my dream has scaled back to Getting Along & Idle, and that's OK. I do understand and appreciate the benefits living in the USA has to offer, and within the bounds of self survival, volunteer for and monetarily support, causes that help the disenfranchised, homeless, helpless and hungry. That's my serious side, my self-depreciating humorous side is much closer to lazy and selfish and I have to be eternally vigilant for unseemly outbreaks.
