Bring it on

I think the planets must have been misaligned this last week or something, or maybe my guardian angel was PMSing and decided to make life hard for me. I'm not quite dumb enough to stare life in the face and say, "Bring it on," because it probably would, but I am going to defiantly refuse to let it get me down all the way. You want to know some good things about life?

Hot chocolate and a warm blanket on a day when it's so cold outside that your breathe freezes and puts frost all over your face.

Friends who want to cheer you up even if they do a bad job of it.

Other friends who cheer you up without even realizing it.

Having time to sit and let your imagination run away so you don't have to be you for a little while.

Hiking to the top of a mountain or a waterfall or somewhere else in the middle of nowhere and just sitting quietly and enjoying the peace.

Being with a group of people who mock each other because they love each other.

Stars, auroras, comets, and the Milky Way.

Pepperoni with cottage cheese.

That feeling you get when sudden realization hits and you understand something you've been struggling with for a while.

Playing music without even realizing you're playing because you're enjoying listening to it so much.

Spelunking and/or rock climbing.

A compliment on something you worked really hard on.

That feeling of pride you get when you fix/build something.

Hugs from children.
