Writing these posts is actually a fair bit of work.  I find after writing one that I need a few days to think about the next topic.  When writing the list and committing to try to write everyday I didn’t really pay attention to how big these topics really were.  Thus I think they will continue to come less regularly.  But I have enjoyed thinking about many of these things, which is a good thing as I don’t think anyone is reading them.  I have especially enjoyed thinking about this one.  It has made me even more aware of how fascinating a place the world is.  So I could write a never ending list I think but I have decided to limit myself to five.  Here they are, in no particular order.

History:  History was my favourite subject at school and I still find it fascinating.  This year I have had the privilege of visiting a number of sacred sites here in Peru of ancient cultures and I have found it so interesting.  And last night I watched the Iron Lady about Margaret Thatcher.  While I am certainly not a great fan I learned a lot.  I wish we would learn more from our history and stop making the same mistakes over and over.

Birth:  No surprises that I would write this but I find the whole process of birth such a miracle.  How a baby grows inside its mother’s stomach and then is birthed instinctively looking for its mother’s face and breast milk is truly extraordinary in my opinion.

People:  People engage in lots of boring gossip which is a shame because people are very interesting.  Until now I have never heard someones life story that wasn’t really interesting. 

Theology:  I can talk about God and religion and all things related forever.  I probably read more about it than anything else too.  It’s totally fascinating.

Culture:  As I am currently living in a different culture I am particularly aware of this one.  I honestly do find it fascinating the way culture shapes us into who we are.  Although sometimes it downright frustrating too.
