Last night I celebrated my friend's birthday with her dad, who was visiting from California, and a couple other friends. After stuffing ourselves at Benihana (seriously...of all the joints in NY, she wanted to go there), we strolled down 5th Avenue and my friend's dad got into the subject of what-kind-of man-do-you-like-so-I-can-hook-you-up. One friend wanted a Jewish man and her sister, who is also Jewish, didn't have a preference. To go along with the whole religious preference talk, I preferred someone who is spiritual and open-minded. Of course the conversation was all in fun because my friend wouldn't even go for any of the men that her dad wants her to meet.
Nevertheless, the subject of religion/what-do-you-believe-in got me thinking: what do I believe in? For starters, I believe in Wishing upon a shooting star Karma Dancing like no one is watching Not shaving my legs for awhile Waking up early to see the sunrise Detachment Traveling to a developing country Eating chocolate chip cookies for breakfast (lunch and dinner) Spending time with family Saying it like it is The Middle Way Being vulnerable Environmentalism Impermanence Going for it Being happy with what I have Now
Obviously they're not all religious beliefs, but they're things that I live by, things that I believe in.
