In Which a Statement of Beliefs is Made.

We talk about what we believe, like in God or not a god, in Pro Life or Pro Abortion, and so on and so forth, but do we talk about day to day beliefs that each individual makes their thoughts out of? I submit that we do not.

Well, I believe.
I believe in a rug for every cold spot on the floor.
I believe in German engineering for anything I have to drive.
I believe in computer technology.
I believe in polarized glasses.
I believe in naproxen sodium as painkiller par excellence.
I believe in never going through a checkout line on my cell phone.
I believe in braking early.
I believe in not killing any animal unless I have to, it plans to eat me or my food or property, or I plan to eat it. I toss spiders out windows.
I believe in unruly gardens.
I believe in swept floors.
I believe in stewardship as a measurement of character.
I believe in having my own place, nest, Spot.
I believe in using only toothpaste that tastes good.
I believe in avoiding most commercial perfumes.
I believe in real peanut butter. Not the store kind mixed with too much Crisco. Crisco is industrial lubricant and unfit for human consumption, butter-flavored or not.
I believe in bare legs, no nylons.
I believe in comfortable shoes. The zombiepocalypse could strike at any moment. I'm ready.
I believe in carrying a knife.
I believe in long coats.
I believe in staying young inside.
I believe in paws and wet noses.
I believe in sunlight.
