5. Cooking brings me joy, and watching people happily gobble up what I make is instant gratification.
6. I miss many things about living on the Mediterranean: having my childhood friends around; lingering with extended family for 2-3 hours over multi-dish dinners; the small open-air Cafés at every curve on the mountain roads; everybody you know converging to help when you need something; restauranteurs, taxi drivers, merchants and parking attendants remembering your name when you return more than twice; the amazing hospitality you are smothered with when there.
7. I am constantly working to shrink ego-based reactions and thinking, and expanding my ability to see the Divine in every situation and person.
