#176: What are the primary components of a happy life? Books, tea, cats, and a cozy place to enjoy them all.
#177: How would the world be different if you were never born? Well, no one would have rescued my two cats, for starters. And there would be one less person passionately pestering everyone around them to read books! I like to think of myself as an advocate for literacy.
#178: What is your favorite song and why? Hmmm…I love “Of the Night” (Bastille) and “Steve McQueen” (M83). Also “Crystallize” (Lindsey Stirling).
#179: With the resources you have right now, what can you do to bring yourself closer to your goal? I can set aside a little more time each day to write.
#180: What are your top three priorities? Reading, eating, and sleeping. I have pretty basic needs.
#181: Why do we idolize sports players? For the life of me I don’t know! It’s cool that they’re talented. But I don’t see why we should elevate them above the level of any other person in the way that we do. The same goes for actors or other celebrities.
#182: What is the nicest thing someone has ever done for you? Bought me a book, maybe? :)

176. Appreciating what you have, have a positive outlook, and do what you love.
177. I don’t know what my influence is to the world but I know that to a small part of the world, many seem to enjoy my blog and those who are close to me know they can always count on me.
178. I have so many favorites. My recent fave is Cry by James Blunt.
179. All I need is motivation.
180. Making sure my kids and I are sheltered, fed, and healthy.
181. Pff I don’t understand that either. I never watch sports lol.
182. It’s hard to pick just one thing. Many people have done many nice things for me but I guess what I value the most is just being there for me and be a shoulder for me to lean on when I feel weak.

Just looked up that song…I always forget how much I like James Blunt.

I couldn’t agree more to your components for a happy life!

I am glad there is no world without you! And you cats are very happy about you as well, that’s for sure! :)

“Advocate for literacy”. I love that. I love that so much it should be on a shirt and I should get to wear it, maybe, 78% of the week. *nods*
I like your answer to #179 too! *feels slightly bad for procrastinating* I really ought to write too. But I keep saying “I’ll start on Monday” and then Monday passes and…let’s just say I need to START.

It should be a t-shirt!! I like it.
It’s so hard to set aside time for writing, because I also have a huge TBR pile, and I end up getting sucked into reading instead of writing. My TBR pile is just so huge!
