If you could go back

would you? Wouldn't you more or less just end up in the same way?

Day 7: Five things I can not live without.

1. water

2. food

3. shelter

4. oxygen

5. for the sake of argument... sunlight

Did I make you roll your eyes or something?

Well, when I read the blog topic I thought again...hmm there's really nothing that immediately comes to mind. I just wrote that list for fun, but I think I can twist it around a little to make it more accurate.

1. Toronto tap water. Did you know in a blind taste-testing competition Toronto placed 3rd in all of North America? I miss just running my kitchen tap and drinking the water.. I actually boil my water here and let it cool because it's that bad. The other day I asked my floormates for Brita water, and those that knows me know I was never a fan of (Brita/ double) filtrated water.

2. Food. I won't even know what would happen to me if you just feed me through a UV or through tasteless pills. I love food. I love snacks. I live for the satisfaction of consuming and digesting great tasting food.

3. I love the comfort of my own blanket and pillow? I guess I'm not that picky... considering I just got a new duvet and I fell in love with it so quickly. My new double bed is actually a real bonus compared to my single at home. I guess what I can't live without is knowing that I have my own familar and comfortable bed to hop into when I get home. Thinking of our sanctuary that we can return to after a long day keeps us going sometimes, no?

4. I really can't say I can't live without this... cause it's somewhat rare that I get to experience this but I love cool fresh (morning/lake) air. I love walking outside in the morning and having a cool fresh breeze blow in my face. Sometimes, in the fall and spring, I can experience this when I walk out of the house in the morning to go to school. It would make me smile as I close my eyes to take in a deep breath. It gives that feeling that, hmm today's going to be a good day. This fresh air can commonly be found at the cottage or camping? I like that damp smell in the air. Or after a spring/ summer rain shower...love that smell.

5. I think I've mentioned this before, but just having natural light helps me study better. I'm not particularly bond of the burning sun on hot summer days (especially since I tan so easily). I guess the sunlight's the best in the morning. Another source of sunlight in your life are the people that shine like the sun and bring warmth and joy into your life. These people, and you probably all know who you are, you guys are my sunlight and I can't live without you.

Today, I blogged twice for my baby. It's our six month anniversary. Nothing big I know, but I remember explicitly thinking that because of school and stuff we would never make it this far. He calls me his sunshine sometimes, and so baby just so you know, you're my sunshine too.

p.s. This is the first time I've re-read my work for a long time. I noticed a lot of errors. wl just told me that I had a lot of errors in other posts as well. How embarrassing... I guess I am going to reread my work from now on. And I guess as a disclaimers, all those other times you've caught mistakes and thought: what a illiterate person, it was only cause I didn't proofread.
