Here's my "pick-me-up" list of favorite things. Just thinking about them does chase away my latest "down" feelings. No particular order.
1) Snuggled in a warm bed reading a good book, then you realize that you don't remember the last page because you've been dozing off.
2) Coming home after work and the kids drop what they are doing to run up and give me a hug.
3) That flash of green and a hint of silver as a walleye gets close to the surface and you realize what you've caught.
4) The first mouthful of foam from the first Guinness of the weekend.
5) The smile on D9's face as she runs the 100 meter dash. The smile on S6's face as he hits a baseball.
6) Recess Peanut Butter Cups
7) The smooth lines of a P-51 Mustang and the stubby chunky profile of an F4F Wildcat.
8) That first view of a lake as you crest a hill or cross the dam. Blue-green water to the horizon with shadows from the clouds sprinkled across the surface.
9) The Big Lebowski
10) Thunderstorm and tornado warnings
Anyone else please feel free to add to the list. Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone!
