Because sometimes we all need to focus on the good things... So I'll start:
Laughing like lunatics with my sisters over some dumb old family joke that no one else would even "get."
Reading a book that's so good it makes me breathless with envy.
Finding a beautiful piece of music by an artist I never heard of before.
Falling asleep with one of my cats snuggled up tight against my stomach.
Hearing the first robin every spring. Seeing and smelling the first flowers...hyacinths, tulips, lilacs, lily of the valley. Seeing the first blooms open on my peonies every June.
Having a friend tell me, "thanks for listening."
Seeing the crescent of the first quarter moon. Seeing the full moon, especially on a warm summer night.
Hearing the nighthawk calling on summer evenings.
Writing, even when I read over what I just wrote and think "oh heck that's crapola!" Writing it over and over again until it's the best it can be.
