things important to me

I am a very simple person...I have been rich twice and lost it twice...poverty shows you just how deep you are...you grow so much while poor

an electric blanket that works

to fall asleep in front of a fireplace

socks and rubber boots that have no or few holes

a car that works

a big claw bathtub next to a river in the wilderness

animals that don't demand so much food in exchange for friendship

a good camera

go to state parks where there is no parking fee

place substance in thoughts and send them out as prayers

break monotony with a sudden miracle

be overwhelmed by a beautiful sunset

meet people that remind me of friends from long ago

fall in love with the fresh vegetable lady at Walmart and she does not know it

to sit next to an old tree in an old forest and be happy for hours
