Things I like

[bearwithme]

When a friend calls me out of the blue;

Cold pizza;

when my daughter gives me an Eskimo Kiss.

Ozone. Deep blue sky. 26-28 degrees C (please).

The fact that there's a bird-feeder in the gardens at 10 Downing Steet.

Banging away on hand drums with a group of other musicians!  It's a GREAT stress reliever and creative too!!!   
LOVE the jam sessions!!!!!!

the moment when people change their deeply-held opinions because of new information.

Hearing both my kids had great test scores this year!

YA!

[Portia]

Nice one Mo2! Tests may not be perfect or the 'best' way but great scores are better than otherwise.

I like Frank Zappa. "What kind of a goooroooo are yoooou, anyway?"

...and  "you're all ASSHOLES!" (I wish I coulda been a fly on the wall back in the day of those seminars.)

You're right, Portia.

Test scores aren't primary indicators of much, but.......

good ones are certainly a relief.

[Portia]

I'm glad you're relieved Mo2. I feel a little like that myself atm.

Portia:
I should say, my youngest has been dealing with non-verbal processing delays since Pre-K.

Her scores this year are more relief that she's overcoming/compensating.

I'm glad your feeling relieved atm too.

[Portia]

I'm listening Mo2.

My (intellectual) feeling of relief is today morphing into dropping any anxiety and giving it up, AA style. I am responsible only for myself and my stuff, protecting what is mine and mine only.

Yesterday I was liking a humorous example of when people can't do their jobs; or perhaps when people with a funny bone like to make in-jokes. You know, adolescent humour

How good I feel physically after I finish a three day water fast.

Putting up a new fence and transforming a garden that makes me smile, feel warm, happy.  An ugly boulder now a (lady bug) painted.  Another boulder (flat top) being tranformed into a checker board to play on. Natural rocks with just poka dots of blue paint on them...ugly grey walking stones mixed with outside light blue paint raked into it which gives a warm comfortable feeling.

My son sitting with his friends while the dogs are out with them.  One dog wearing a life guard shirt and the other a muscel (six pack) shirt...hearing the birds, music,  laughter, smelling the cut grass, as the dryer is going and scents of downy fabric softener mixed in with the rest of the smells.......

Tiny stringed white lights all through my bushes.......white long sheets of linen draped down blowing in the breeze off a gazebo...Looking over at my neighbors yard with hanging plants with little lites in them...white rock...all through her yard that makes you think/feel like behind your house you will see the ocean....

Ah I love my family and friends, I love people, I love life.........

Nature.  Example:  Last night I stood outside the front door, the light was on and flying bugs were plentiful.  I noticed a lizard and if you can picture it, he was lounging on a shrub kind of like those pictures you see of African cats stretched out asleep on a tree limb.  I noticed the lizards tail just draped straight down.     Anyway, I got a twig and teased his long draped tail.  He didn't move.  I think he was in R.E.M. sleep, full and content.
