  My animals
  
  Coffee
  
  Reading
  
  Coming here and checking things out
  
  Sitting outside and enjoying the country atmosphere, day or night
  
  Going to the bathroom - c'mon, I've discussed this, it's the most underrated thing that just feels so good!  It's one of the biggest literal reliefs ever!
  

• uniquely-ironic said on Nov 12, 2008....

  Hege - I have to agree with you there.  There is nothing so blissful as the relief you get, especially if you have to "hold it" for any length of time.

  MM&I - I love gazing at the stars.  If you go far enough into the country it's even better since the city lights won't compete for your attention.

  I love this kind of post!
  
  What makes me happy right now:
  
  -working on a soft blanket
  
  -letting go of friendship-type fears
  
  -ending every night with my soul mirror (just thinking about him makes me smile :) )
  
  -my kids' giggles
  
  -singing
  
  -writing (not that I've done much of that lately)
  
  -the holidays -- just the warm fuzzies from the season in general, not the specifics that can be so stressful!
  
  -autumn leaves
  
  -my starfish necklace (my one and totally awesome birthday gift this year) -- people ask me all the time what it means and I get to tell the story, which has personal meaning for me
  
  -reading, particularly when it's related to my spiritual studies

• starchini said on Nov 12, 2008....

  aww uni! My favorite color is green too!  : )  But it was my favorite first!  Ok reasons for me to be happy:

  1) Im growing a human inside me

  2) I will be a mommy soon

  3) Baby Kittens

  4) Lil' Lilly Shitter

  5) My mommy loves me

  6) I have an awesome family and an awesome friend and lots of diary friends : ) 

  7) Its snowing!

  8) Phil, despite what a pain in the ass he is currently being, he gives me reason to be happy, hes a good person and great company and he lets me put my cold hands under his shirt : )  if thats not love, i dont know what is. 

  9) Its almost dinner time

  10) im gaining weight, and its ok. 

• uniquely-ironic said on Nov 12, 2008....

  TIO - you have a lot to make you happy.  I just smile reading it.  I love the story of the starfish necklace!  kids giggling ..... it's infectious in a good way.
   
  star - I bet the snow looks pretty falling.  I think snow is magical in a way.  Of course being pregnant is much more magical.  You'll see what I mean about that very soon.

• wombat said on Nov 12, 2008....

  I love these kinds of posts, too!  Something positive to rejoice in.

  The warm sun through a glass window, even if it's cold out.

  Good music on the radio.

  Watching my indoor plants survive from being brought inside from the nice weather.

  A good talk with my son on the phone.

  Opening a good book and just knowing I am going to love this one!

  Sketching and realizing this one is going to actually look pretty good.

  A big bowl of  real popcorn and a good movie ready at the same time.  I don't like the microwave kind.

  Seeing Mr. W feeling good and having fun (sometimes at my expense as he seems to enjoy picking on me when he is happy)

  Getting a surprise email with news of home.

  (Ok, I should say I am "home" here after two years....)

  Being on SC and having a good "session" with nice people before I go to bed.

• uniquely-ironic said on Nov 12, 2008....

  wombie - there is nothing like being warm and happy inside when it's cold out there.  To rescue a few plants is icing on the cake.

• secretlife said on Nov 12, 2008....

  yay for a positive thinker!
   
  • a cozy fire in the fireplace on a chilly night
  • chocolate milk
  • the smell of a freshly cut lawn
  • the puppy when he rolls over on his back exposing himself shamelessly
  • my children most of the time
  • my husband when he's laying tile
  • sunflowers
  • my hands in the dirt planting or weeding
  • christmas trees and decorations

• uniquely-ironic said on Nov 12, 2008....

  SL - the smell of fresh cut grass always reminds me of my childhood.  We had a push mower.  I love when puppys roll over on their backs, belly exposed and I swear they smile the "you know you love me" smile.

• queenparanoia said on Nov 12, 2008....

  Thanks for making me think of this!

• travelr712 said on Nov 13, 2008....

  watching the program work after i've been beating on it all day :-)

• starchini said on Nov 13, 2008....

  one hour til my dr. appt! hooray!

• uniquely-ironic said on Nov 13, 2008....

  fraggles - I had them tuesday
   
  silver - purple is another of my fav colors.  Not being sick is a good one too.
   
  link1 - thanks
   
  shotothorn - Hi, I haven't seen you here before.  Welcome.  I think I have used the same body wash and it rocks!!  Yes, we innocently enjoyed the old cartoons not realizing the inuendos embedded in there for the long suffering adults.
   
  Lucy - you too!  Isn't it amazing how that works?
   
  FG - you're welcome.  I do this when I'm in a funk.
   
  trav - I can't say I've experienced exactly that, but it has to be similar for me to working on an art project for hours and sitting back and realizing I nailed it.
   

• travelr712 said on Nov 13, 2008....

  yeah, same thing uni. here i am banging my head against yet another program!

• uniquely-ironic said on Nov 13, 2008....

  trav - you must love the pain ....... or at the very least the reward.

• travelr712 said on Nov 13, 2008....

  
  

• one_wired_kitty said on Nov 13, 2008....

  ENERGY DRINKS ... I SOOO LOVE ENGERY DRINKS (today :-p)

• one_wired_kitty said on Nov 13, 2008....

  hahahahahahahahaha ROFLMFAO @ Trav

• uniquely-ironic said on Nov 13, 2008....

  trav - I love Ren and Stimpy.  It was a sad sad day when they cancelled the series.

  one wired - MMmmmm, energy drink.  I like the sugar free Rock Stars.

• travelr712 said on Nov 13, 2008....

  i wish i coulda got the one with the video in it, it's hillarious!

• uniquely-ironic said on Nov 13, 2008....

  trav - I take it you were a fan too?  I remember sitting on the couch on weekend evenings stifling giggles so that I wouldn't wake up the kids.

• travelr712 said on Nov 13, 2008....

  yeah, i was a big fan until campbell left, then it just got dumb. i liked powdered toast man and the horse, 'no sir, i don't like it!'

• uniquely-ironic said on Nov 13, 2008....

  trav - I used to be able to do a fair impression of Ren.  I've lost it due to lack of use.

• one_wired_kitty said on Nov 13, 2008....

  U-I ... I love the starbucks double shot ... the mocha one's.

• uniquely-ironic said on Nov 13, 2008....

  one wired - I've tried those.  They're good!  However, sometimes I like the non-coffee types of energy drinks.
