Gratitude Tuesday - q

It has been a reallllllllly long time since i did a Gratitude Tuesday post, but as part of my New Year's resolutions i promised to start doing more questions and surveys again, so here goes for the letter 'q':

~ quiet - i love to sit in the quiet of my bedroom or kitchen or in my garden or in the woods, and just think and reflect and chill out and just 'be' for a while without the hassles and strains of everyday life. Quiet calms me and helps me refocus like nothing else can really, so i actively seek it out when i need to.

~ quotes - i collect quotes, especially on BDSM themes, but on all kinds of things. i find them good to reflect on, because often they say something that i've never really thought about before. Or sometimes they can explain something much better than i ever could :) i have a site with some of my favourite poems and quotes. ~ questions - i love to be asked questions by people, because again they make me think more deeply than i might do otherwise. And i also like to ask questions, because i'm quite a nosey person! ~ quizzes - i love to take part in quizzes to find out how much i know, and i love watching quiz shows too (when i get the time). A couple of times i have been on a quiz team at the local pub quiz and that was really fun too :) ~ quickness - i appreciate quickness in 2 ways: people who have a quick wit and make me laugh with their responses, and people who are quick at their jobs like waitresses or shop assistants. Slowness just irritates me. ~ qualities - i love the fact that everyone is different, with a different mix of personal qualities, some good and some bad. i love finding out which qualities people have, and trying to copy their best qualities in myself. ~ quirks - similar to the above but different... i love quirky people, and i love my own quirks and am proud of them. But i think there's a fine line between quirky and strange. i don't really like strange. And i hate people who try to make themselves quirky just to be cool - you either are or you're not. ~ quilt - nothing better on a freezing cold day than snuggling down into a lovely warm soft quilt :) ~ quiche - yeah i'm running out of 'q' words now, but i do love quiche. i can make it myself now, and my favourite is bacon and mushroom served with coleslaw. ~ quills - i've always loved these and been fascinated by how they used to be made. Perhaps i'll get one someday. Can anyone think of any other good 'q' words?
