What do you value - and why?
I value my wife, because she cares about me, and supports me, for all the rights and wrongs that I've done. She still stood by me no matter what happened in the past, and I will always appreciate her for it.

What about you? What do you value and why?

1. time, energy, confidence
time - because it is the most precious asset
energy - to do the things I want to do with this time I have
confidence to follow the path I desire.

2. My friends, although I did a lousy job of showing it today.

:-(

Edit - of course my parents - they're great. Nothing material, for sure; I can replace just about everything I own.

3. My family and friends,
My family, because they have always been there for me, and my friends, because I haven't always had them, and I know how precious it is to find people outside of your family who care about you.

My home, because we have worked hard to have a nice one.

My pets, because they add so much to my life.

Those are my top 4.

6. Friends and family. My health.
Living in Canada. I love playing with little kids. Walking mom's dogs in the evening. Priceless.

7. I value a good education, friends and relatives
I've been in the blue collar world for a long time and now I've returned to school to get my degree. Working as a blue collar guy has made me see the value of a college education. I am indebted to my parents for making it possible for me to go back to school. And that brings me to another value. Friends and relatives. How many times have you fallen back on them for their help and understanding. I don't know where I'd be without them as I've had a lot of problems in my life that I could not have sorted out without them.

8. good question...
I value many things:
my husband (keeps me grounded and happy)
my son (gives me hope for the future)
my cats (fur people rule)
music ("without music life would be a mistake" Nietzsche)
movies (pure escapism)
comic books (pure escapism)
art (makes me feel)

9. good drivers
because I hate being on the roadways surrounded by idiots who either drive too fast, drive too slow or swerve in and out of lanes.
