Bullwinkle, What you write was so awomel I thikn it's good to remind ourselvles once in awhile that it's all worth it, even when it feels like it isnt or neer will be.

The las crumbs in a bag of chips
Snuggling on the couch with my boo
Wearing scrubs that match
Christmas lights and staring at the Christmas tree with the lights off
Trying to dance like Justin Timberlake (ahah)
Spitting the tapioca balls out of bubble tea
Starting a book and never finishing it
Sitting on the back porch by myself and smoking a cigarette
Passing notes in class (yes, I am quite aware I'm in graduate school).
Hearing my little 5 year old friend lagh
Tchotchkes that clutter up my house
Taking naps
Sitting on the floor of the shower and letting the water run over me
Back rubbies
Being up close at a concert for a band that I really love

Being taken care of
Getting in touch with old friends

Sex scenes in movies that are actually romantic
Drinking tea in bed on the weekends
And a whole lot more -- but it's so easy to forget in the day to days of life and all of the shhit it throws at you.. but ther is a lot and lot of good. Thanks for javing such a great idea bullwinkle. :)
Many things but my top seven are God, Church, my husband, my daughters, my sisters, music and reading.

Talking with my kids
Walking my dog through the rainforest
Spotting the wombat that lives in my driveway
Watching the kangaroos in the home paddock grazing

Lucid moments with my patients
Waiting for my man to get home
Snuggling in bed on a frosty night
Playing in my garden at dusk
Being home alone during the day {feels like wagging school}

that crystal blue of a wave just before it breaks
my daughter's eyes
"I love you SO MUCH" in a five year old voice
My daughter's lips

long talks with the dago chick
getting an A
learning anything new
a good book
watching my son read a good book
my son telling me that he now understands
a clean car
a 69 roll for lunch
folded lanudry
not having to cook
sex in the morning
not having to work
holding a my kid's hand
little miss sunshine (my new favorite movie) over and over
lazy days of just watching movies
seeing whales
hearing whales under the water
Makena Beach
Omopio Road
new clothes
my daughter's drawings of people
Listening to Into the Mystic over and over again

a clean house
knowing I'm finally on my last semester
quiet mornings when my husband and daughter are still in bed and it's just me, a cup of coffee, and my laptop
hearing my daughter tell me "you're the best, mom" and knowing that, somehow, she means it
telling my daughter that I love her and knowing that I can follow through on those words
selling my old crap on eBay
buying other people's old crap on eBay
knowing that whatever happens, I'll get through it
snuggling my family
going to a matinee
being able to enjoy things that are good for me
ice cream with apple pie mushed up in it from McDonalds
knowing how good it feels to have a real, solid marriage
Thursday lunch with my Mom
singing Praise music at church
watching the cute guitar player who leads the singing
afterglow that lasts all day

When my son's say I love you for no reason
My childs laughter
When you hear about something kind someone did, just because........
A good hearty laugh
A great book that stays with you forever, a short but great one for me was the five people you meet in Heaven
any moment with my Mom
When my brother comes to town with my little peanut nephew
sunrises and sunsets
caribean vacations
eating all day on those vacations
an excellent chocolate dessert
anything chocolate
when my hubby does the dishes
when my hubby takes the kids out
When the dog or cat cuddles you (and you don't have treats)
looking forward to something
A movie that moves you I recently seen Fabulous Baker Boys and the music so moved me
The way my Dad looks at my Mom
The way my husband loves me no matter what
just recently coffee and the computer in the a.m.
A clean house
laundry done
a welcome call from an old friend when you can sit and listen
An unexpected letter
Having my psychic reading
When a long gone friend says hello in my dreams
being a good mother
being a good daughter
being a good person

Soul Picnic,
I have a 'brother' in Santa Cruz. He is a chef at this restaurant named "Sestri"... Have you heard of it before?
I'm going to make a list, but don't have time at the moment. I wanna put some thought into it. ;)

Ok,
1) This is f***ing amazing. I love reading everybody's lists... it's like a breath of fresh air.
2) We gotta get more people to do it - especially the ones who seem like they feel like everything is hopeless right now. Because it's AWESOME :)
3) No, I haven't heard of Sestri, but now I want to go there.
4) I have one more: Hanging out on the couch or in bed on foggy, drizzly, dark, rainy days.
Thanks guys. You have all made my day.

Today having a conscious contact with God makes me happy....and with that contact, everything else falls into place and life is magical....
Today being able to feel good & be happy is such a blessing as I always have longed for happiness but never knew how to obtain it....I'm glad I no longer have to pretend to be happy but truly can live it.....
