Pastimes.

About 2 years ago, I started collaborating with one of my good friends on what came to be known simply as the "love list". This list contained an itemized account of things that I get great pleasure out of, do often, or love the idea of.

I've still been catologing these things that make me happy.

I want to share something with you today that has been more of a recent discovery of something I really love doing, a new pastime, if you will:

Leaning over the counter when I eat, like an Italian



This (above) is the island in our kitchen.

I discovered that I really don't like sitting down when I am enjoying a meal. But, for added security, I've discovered a trick called "the lean", to ensure security in both my footing and also in the event that I slop my food. I've been engaging in the lean now for quite some time, and I always seem to end up leaning and eating at the island.

The Italians lean over the counter, primarily I hear, while they are eating pizza and doing "the fold". I can't think of a better eating model to follow after.

I secretly wish I was Italian.



I dare you to make your own love list. Take the time to write down the things you like doing. It's kind of fun to see what kind of person you are on paper.

Here's to a good week, friends. Cheers.
