Memoirs of a Fat Girl

Try though I might, I could not find the script for the movie In Her Shoes, which I just had the pleasure of watching over the weekend.

The bit I wanted to include was where Simon is telling Rose that the law, the Sixers and good food drive him. Drive him in that, those are the things that keep him going. Everyone needs something to drive them, he says, or some things.

That bit made me think quite a bit. What drives us? More importantly, what drives me?

It took me the rest of the weekend to come up with this:

My family (too obvious?)
My dog (very obvious)
Writing &
The written word (would you ever have guessed?)
Pictures
Travel
Good food (borrowing that from Simon)
Good wine (that’s all me)
Good music (so’s that)
Good friends (that too)
Road trips (soon)
World Cup
Spiffing up my own home
Love

Needless to say, I’m much more complex than Simon. Or I’m a lot more simple. Either way, these are my life force.

What drives you?
