WAXING POETIC . . .

There are some things that always make me feel good . . .

. . . doing something nice and fun and unusual for someone else.
. . . loose, flowy linen pants.
. . . receiving a really cool and generous gift.
. . . thinking of ways to adequately express thanks for the really cool and generous gift.
. . . cute dogs that get sleepy in your car.
. . . a crispy-cold Lime Green Tea Snapple Iced Tea.
. . . understanding the value of true friendship and the maintenance thereof.
. . . little sweat beads on my forehead -- okay big sweat beads -- after a vigorous run.
. . . cute toothless children grinning mischievously while tugging on your hand to play a game.
. . . a plan executed flawlessly, successfully and happily.
. . . an adventure.
. . . a perfectly ironic turn of events at which I can only throw back my head and laugh hysterically.
. . . anticipating a fun day in the sun, running around, making a fool of myself, bonding with old friends, making new ones.
