Things I like
teartracks:
Movies-For some reason, it's next to impossible for me to sit through movies on TV or on the big screne. I can't count the times that I flat out slept through movies in the theatre. I don't have TV now. That's a good thing for when I did, I mostly flipped channels, but anyway, there have been a few movies in which almost every scene attracts my attention enough to stop the channel surfing and actually watch. A few get me every time. Legally Blonde with Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods is one of them. I just love that movie.

teartracks:
Little Debbie Nutty Bars. You know you can cut those little rascals into inch size bites and serve them at a get together as tasty little sweet treats - yummy.
Cheeze-It - The Pepper Jack flavored ones
Pretty blue eyes with not a hint of any other color in them.
Black/brown eyes that sparkele.
Green eyes with brown specks.
Cheap beer!
Good wine!
Ploughing into a mound of Caviar sprinkled over smashed boiled eggs and sour cream with a few capers, spread on water crackers, sans good manners. Just eat and enjoy as casually as you would baked beans at a barbecue!
a bag of boiled/bald depending on where you're from, salty, pepper hot peanuts with a bag of Scuppernong grapes and a Coca Cola
driving down I-95 listening to the Eagles on the way to see my grandchildren.
Transparent people who were nurtured to be that way or folk like us who've learned in the school of hard knocks to be transparent, letting the chips fall where they may.
Reconciliation.
Recognizing an unpleasant feature of my personlity and changing it out for another feature that is full of integrity and which represents more fully who I am after my makeover (those seven years of hell).
Seeing my grandchildren flourish and recalling seeing signs of who they would become from the time they were in diapers.
Hearing my granchild say, Oh grandma, you were right when you told me that my gift was _____________. I'm glad I was tuned into them from toddlerhood. What a blessing!

Walking in a Japanese garden...feeding the giant koi...letting the sunshine warm me...
lunch at an outdoor cafe with people walking by...
a long drive to and from the city, talking and laughing and planning...
reading aloud for hours--better than TV!

lighter:
Just really being present in the moment with my children.
Rain or shine.
Night or day........
and Trader Joe's salt and vinegar potato chips with ketchup and milk.
