LIFE ROCKS!!

Last month, I read of a guy selling his life - his name and identity, his possessions and his personal quirks, all rolled into one - on ebay. Alfie James, a collegue, decided to do the same, though I am not sure if he would actually do it, in spirit atleast. The idea in his case wasn't to make a quick buck but to try and appreciate what your life holds, everything good about being you that you dont necessarily realise till you put it down in black and white.

So I did. I am a great one for lists anyway. But even I the eternal optimist was staggered by all I've got to be kicked about in my life - work, friends, travel, family, even relationships that did not work outbut were great while they lasted. Not to mention some of my very personal quirks that I realised define me in many ways, like my paranoia about answering unknown numbers on my cell, my inability to take a bite of chocolate - I have to have the entire bar, whtever the size - and my fondness of all things black, be they cars, clothes or moods!I went through my list again, struck that I dont want to be anyone but me, not because I am perfect but because being imperfect doesnt mean being unhappy. Sure I have issues - impatience, procrastination, laziness. But I have more that tips the other side of the scale.
thats why life is all about looking good and feeling even better.

Hell, the point is, I realised that no matter what's going on in my life, its SIMPLY GREAT to be ME!!;)
