To be honest, the first thing I thought of when presented with this week's theme "Something I can't live without" was cheese.
Yes, cheese. The wonder food.
It's so scrummy (scrumptious and yummy). Second thing I thought of was the Hubs (I'm so ashamed I didn't think of him first).
But after some more thought (and a slice of cheese), the one thing I can't live without is water and sunlight (OK, two things).
When I say water and sunlight, it's not for the obvious reasons, like a plant needs it to do it's thing with the chlorophyll or something. I need water and sunlight for my sanity.
I've lived in San Diego my whole life. The sea and the sun are part of me. Just the idea of living in the middle of dry land makes me claustrophobic. Trapped. Suffocated.
The sun has an amazing power over my mood. What's funny is that I love a gray, rainy day too (probably because of the water!) but I can only take a few days of it before I have to feel the sun's warmth. My happiest day is on some tropical beach with the Hubs, snorkeling in the warm water and then lounging in the sun. Preferably with a plate of cheese and fruit.
Two very basic things, but two things I must have to survive. What can't you live without?

I feel EXACTLY the same way. I've tried to explain the trapped feeling of being too far away from the ocean to people who weren't born next to it but I don't think they understood how important it is. I NEED to know the ocean is at least within a day's drive. Even if I haven't seen it in weeks. Months even. I have to know it's there.
Exactly! I can manage living inland even if I didn't work at the beach because I know it's not far away :).
OCEAN. <3
