.. 1, 2, 3..
Isn't that how the song goes? Anyways. I know stuff like this has done the rounds before, but I couldn't see the best place to put it. So it goes here. Nerr!
Right, well. Since the new year I've bought myself a little silly book with sparkles and pretty spangles on it with the express purpose of writing in it all the little things, that make me smile and/or happy. OK, somedays it may be a more than a bit of a bittersweet and wry grin, but sometimes it just does work, even for a little while. I thought it may be nice to have a forum thread equivalent of that spangly book.. somewhere people can check in and look at from time to time, and add to when good things happen.
As someone wiser than me once said ' God (s) is in the details'
I'll start:
Watching christmas tree lights through half closed eyes.
Blowing out 'fog' and doing steam train impressions when it's cold outside.
The feeling of snuggling down with my kitties purring away, in the warmest of blankets, a stupid comedy on TV and the heating on, while the weather outside blows wet and wild.
Splashing in puddles.
The crisp, 'clean' feeling of a clear Winter morning, when everything seems purified and new.
Snow before anyone human has touched it.
Hearing the waves crash in on my favourite beach.
Nights that are endless for all the right reasons.
Snuggling up with my son in bed to read stories, and his joy when i put on silly voices.
The song 'The Sun Rising' by the Beloved.
Having a plan come together.
Watching a crowd dancing to a song you are playing, knowing you are helping them create a good mood..
That perfect moment with a partner, when the world stretches out into one seemingly endless moment of bliss, where you could just live in that moment forever.
A summer storm soaking you to the skin. Dancing in the rain..
Silly giggles over rude words..
Perfect quotes:
'
Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching'
'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars'~Oscar Wilde
So anyone got any others they'd like to share? It'd be nice to have this thread here full of the stuff that does help make it seem worthwhile, or at least in some small way to make it a little easier to live with occasionally.
So fly, my little monkeys.. what've you got?
