~What in your life doesn't make you scream, but instead makes you smile? (I think that I needed to do this to help me to recognize these things and to assist in balancing the ones that make me scream. So,...right now in my life the things that make me smile are: *my niece, and many other people. *reassuring professors. *living on the ocean. *jazz brunch and coffee on sundays. *the scent of lilacs in the floral dept. at the grocery store. *my kittys. *finding my favorite pair of pants for 8 dollars. *or coat for 10. hehe. *a perfect photograph. *watching friends perform at acoustic night. *working for the sweetest people. *feeling the sun warm my back as I walk. *watching E skate. *the fact that E's getting me a new guitar. *and many more, which is good to think about. I must recognize these things more. Yeah? *Peace. |

Hmmm, let's see.... Waking up to the smell of fresh brewed coffee and sunshine, Finding a "shmily" from the hubby and giving one in return, Memories of the kids when they were little, Making memories with them now when they are grown, Watching the antics of the dogs, Reading the great poetry here, Watching a perfect sunset, Sitting in front of a warm fire, knowing everyone is safe while a blizzard rages outside, A hug from a friend, Listening to the elderly telling tales of their youth, Winter, spring, summer and fall, Great thread SpitFire, certainly makes me realize there's a lot more that makes me smile than I have to vent about! Thanks. |

Poetry. The email I got from my friend Dorothy today--she is looking into this site and wants to invite one of her friends to join us here as well! The fact that even though it snowed yesterday, it's going to be warm all this week. Being on spring break and knowing I'll be done with school in about two months. Finally wrapping up a big project. Having a long conversation with a friend. Flowers--roses, pink carnations, and lilacs. Passions in Poetry. |

Anyone who cares to post these things like this and is willing to listen to everyone whine or is willing to listen to what everyone thinks. Someone who can relate to the same stresses or at least stress level that I am on. |

Dancing in the rain. Listening to my grandmother talk about her mother. Listening to the rain on my roof and remembering that I actually HAVE a roof. Making someone laugh. Hugs. Watching the clouds float by while making them into animals and fairytales. The look on my mom's face after I wash the dishes. Knowing that no matter how annoying my sister gets, she's still there to talk. Hearing a great song on the radio after a horrible day at school. Dogs that lick my face and don't pay attention to the grief that it wears. K now I'm happier...thanks so much for the thread. ~Carly "The eye sees a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination awake." - Leonardo da Vinci |

~ three days weekends ~ waking up in the morning, pulling the curtain back, opening the window and being smacked with the sweetness of the day: liquid gold sunshine, leaves whirling in the breeze, breathing in air that lightens every inch of your body ~ getting a seemingly insignificant message on ICQ, opening it and finding it's your fabulous always-unavailable friend who's been in China for the past two years, and hasn't had any sort of internet connection for the past nine months ~ coming home feeling so so tired after work... but biking to the gym anyway and feeling the stress fall away as you pedal. In the gym, sweating hard as you push your body against gravity and metal, then biking home singing to the sting of the wind on your ears. Arriving home, taking an especially long hot shower, then fixing a bowl of tomato soup and a place on the bed to curl up with the book-of-the-moment. ~ walking in the door every night and seeing that grin. ~ watching your legs turn from wax to bronze in the sun. ~ finally getting the nerve to dye your hair ~ a boyfriend that cleans house when you're sick … then fixes you dinner. ~ calling in sick: that beautiful moment where you lay your head back down and sleep the sleep of the careless. ~ cherry blossoms ~ beating any male at strategy/war games. ~ a room full of candles ~ thunderstorms ~ coffee shops. hot tea. ~ being known for holistic remedies... and watching someone break down to ask for whatever weird concoction I have that will get rid of the sickness that's driving them mad. ~ the call the next day that lets me know they feel 110% better (and the tinge of surprise/light reluctance/obvious smile in their voice). ~ a perfect apple ~ a full refrigerator ~ seeing the place picked up and knowing all the laundry is done ~ BNL ~ riding with my (bare) feet out the window ~ getting picked up at the end of the day on the motorcycle ~ discovering a book that makes me ravenous ~ rhetorical questions at 2am ~ learning I have an accent … and hearing that it’s contagious. ~ my birthmark ~ Indian food ~ someone so excited about what they’re saying, the rest of the world could fall apart and they wouldn’t slow their animation ~ my reality (sometimes) ~ watching ~ giggling ~ napping ~ loving ~ reading over what brings joy to other people, and the realization that I’m smiling.

Thanks for this post SpitFire. It's come at a great time. I think this place and the people here would have to be on the top of my list. Loving and being loved. Family (usually!) Spending time with friends doing nothing. My two beautiful puppies, Ralph and Lucy. Writing Drawing Listening to music. Sunshine, rain, snow. The beach at sunrise and the mountains at sunset. (or vice versa if I'm on the other side of the country) I could go on and on but I think I'll stop now. Dee I wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in life. a brand |

Days off from work The look in my hubby's eyes when I say I love you. My 18 year old son who isn't ashamed to kiss his ma in front of his friends. My dog My cats My son's rat. A warm rain to walk in. A nice cup of hot chocolate on a wintry morn A really funny e-mail An e-card when you don't expect it. A bill that finally gets paid in full. Paying off the car. A ride on the motorcycle on a warm spring day with my hubby. Hearing from a friend from 15 years ago. Reading a good book Dilbert Cartoons PIP Reading/writing a good poem Listening to a new CD Opening 'just because' presents The blooming of spring flowers. A clean house when I come home from a hard day at work. I'm sure there are others but the list is just too long. How can you save me? When the dark comes right in and takes me, from my front walk and into bed, where it kisses my face and eats my head. Shivaree |

~PIP ~My reflection ~My music, and all my favourite bands ~The sound that the snow makes as you walk over it ~The smell of the foods lab in my school as you walk by it ~My friend Hepp (who is the only person in the world who shares my sense of humour) ~My intellect ~Mr. K. Shamanski, my Biology 30S teacher who helped me to realize my potential, and motivates me to do the best that I can regardless of the situation ~Free rent, free food, free living (all compiments of my parents) ~RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons, or even console games like the Final Fantasy series ~My daily tendency to write senryus or haikus about the least possible poetic things And last... and MOST signifigant.... Carly Van Dort. Sometimes I feel like I have no real reason to even exist, and she has never failed to put a smile on my face. A true friend who deserves a lot of credit.

Things that make me smile... - Driving in my car with windows down and the radio up. - Music, my own or others, especially live. - Dancing/running/walking/swimming in a summer rain - Laying in the grass and counting clouds - Laying in dewy grass and watching the stars - Being in a quiet forest or near a stream... Flowing water... And that which summons the most smiles from me... Krista, just spending time with her, seeing her smile, holding her hand, sitting close to her, talking to her... It always makes me smile inside "And every state of mind, left to itself, every shutting up of the creature within the dungeon of its own mind - is, in the end, Hell" - C.S. Lewis |

*watching snowflakes fall on a winter's day *during the holiday season, hearing carolers, viewing the lights and seeing the faces of children in anticipation... *driving along and seeing the full moon in the indigo night following me home and waking to the next morning when it's still there in the light of day. *breathing in brisk fresh air of the coming spring and the first day of working out in my gardens *my cat lying next to me making sure her paws are across my arm touching at night... waking to her staring at me, tapping my face wanting me to wake up and start a new day *"watching him watch me watching him" just a few... "The worst prison would be a closed heart". |

time for me to take a shot at this seeing the snow hitting a light just right that it sparkles like dimands. seeing the sunrise over the atlantic ocean. (only been to the ocean once but lord it still makes me happy) knowing that one day i will see my beloved dixie again. playing my guitar playing my guitar on stage in front of a sold out crowd. getting so lost and caught up in my music that i lose all track of everything becoming one with the melodee hearing that new uncle kracker song on my radio hearing the song pour me. knowing how to do the new smileys, wait no one told me  hanging out with my friends and just partying all night long road trips the fact that no one thinks that my name is really jesse jaymz acting learning how to play a new song i like hearing a sad song from the past and not crying to it. dr pepper ummmmmmmmm other drinks that use a small glass that you have to be my age (21) to buy  this little guynot crying when i see my ex-girlfriend online being loved. loveing someone with all my heart. and as always alley and all the rest of passions and everyone in it  I'm a saint and I'm sinner, |
