[*Olivia*]

standing at the edge of the ocean (not an inland bay...but the very edge, where you look out to the horizon and know there's nothing between you and thousands of miles of ocean to the next continent)

lupo's smile

the white tip on the very end of lupo's tail

seeing lupo play with his frisbee

lupo's head on my thigh, looking up into my eyes

everything about lupo *VBS*

the feel of soft powdery white sand under my feet and between my toes

memories of my dad

putting on softlips lip salve (thank you dave *S*)

buying things for others, knowing the joy they bring

getting my paycheque every month!!!

putting some of it away every month *S*

being appreciated at work

being loved (winks at dave)

it's true, hearing a slot machine pay-out *L*

the fact that i get to work with my bestest friend

the scent of gingerflowers

skinny-dipping with my love

watching him savage the seafood medley at all the buffets *L* (he LOVES scallops)

iced green tea frappucinos from starbucks

my new cotton jersey sheets

cracking the seal on yet another tin of altoids sours

time alone with just me

....i'm sure i'll think of more...

hearing..."mommy....mommy" every morning
hearing..."wuv uuuu mommy"
knowing I'm loved beyond comprehension and that I feel the same way about him [img]wink.gif[/img]
that fact that I'm outta this joint in 2 months to a house that's all mine.
that Christmas is only 2 months away
icicles hanging off the eaves troughs that you can see from a window
ice covered trees glistening in the sunlight
watching my son grow, learn and discover new things
having a close solid friendship with both my mom and dad
one of my best friends in the world in my brother
the beautiful people I've met online
hot chocolate with lotsa marshmallows
long drives through the Countryside
being madly in love
sharing my bed with the man of my dreams
having someone and something to come home to every night
spicy food
celebrating the holidays with family and friends
trimming a Christmas tree
being able to celebrate our 1st Christmas in our new home with all our family and friends
being there for anyone who needs it
watching Brady run around and play outside
watching Brady ride his dirtbike with daddy
good music
loud music
music that makes me smile
music in general
dressing up for Halloween

will be back with more....gotta get the little one ready for his swim lesson....

[Noclouds]

reading this thread made me smile

[Father Dave]

hell- i'll start-

sand and 4 wheelin'
birds, yep, i am a birder
fishin with friends
pullin a crab pot up fulla blues
holdin hands
hearing the cha-ching of a nickle slot
watching the face of my love when her machine is cha-chinging
watching her face when she hears someone else's machine hitting good
cats on both sides of me
cats on my stomach
cats...just cats
being able to enjoy life without a beer in my hand


to be continued...

i think it's time-with all that's going on in this crazy world- to be conscious of what makes us smile and be happy.

please feel free to add...that would make me happy too.
