What makes you like life?

The spring and summer.

rainbows, music, Disney movies, and learning my autism is a part of me but "im braver than i believe smarter then i think and stronger then I seem."

- adapted quote from Winnie the pooh poohs grand adventure

Family
Interests, special interests
Doing things I find fun (which usually involves watching something, playing a video/board game, or reading)

Pets when I had them

The absence of pain, problems, hardship, health issues

Colors (especially purple and teal)
My pets (one dog, two cats, one tortoise, two aquatic frogs and about 30 fish)
Delicious food
Soft blankets
Interesting books
Good music
Planting and growing flowers, fruits and vegetables

I like my family and friends, my interests, good books and music, nature, and my imagination.

My daughter.
All animals, especially my cats.
Dancing to live music.
Connecting with the three or so others that I am willing to be that open with.
Planning curriculum when I have a good idea that I want to share.

God- and the reality that in the end he will be in charge, including after death. That even as the world destroys itself it isn't the end.

Art, music, television, friends and family.

Art. I am not allowing myself to say 'sex'.

I like life when I see people with illnesses and disabilities still doing the things they love. I love how no matter what life can still be enjoyed, even if you're limited in some way.

I like to always have something to look forward to. That helps keep me going in life. It has certainly helped me through depressive states.

My interests, which by themselves, could keep me entertained for several lifetimes. Also the company of my friend (who happens to be NT).

How about you OP?

Animals (particularly cats)
Tennis (both watching and playing)
Toastmasters
Seeing people overcome adversity to succeed (like Denis Istomin, who overcame a car accident to succeed as a professional tennis player)

My dog, learning, fictional characters that I can relate to, finishing long-term projects, being helpful, making progress in developing life skills, the possibility of being independent in the near future, finding new foods that I'm comfortable eating, teaching and seeing kids enjoy school, coming to understand a complex topic, having my depth of knowledge of a subject recognized (and respected rather than dismissed as useless), when someone initiates conversations with me about something I'm interested in (IRL, especially), having my writing praised/published, good grades, productive days, early morning weather, winter, science fiction, finding a new obsession (I haven't had one in months ), library trips, rare days when pushing my boundaries doesn't result in a shutdown/overload, and routine.

Great Adventures.
