Title: Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Post by: KICKSTART on May 31, 2009, 10:18:27 AM
these are a few of my favourite things ....
I wanted to start a 'feelgood' thread to balance out the 'I hate thread' i started !
(Are we all singing along to the Sound of Music now? ) :rofl;

I know its summertime but i love being snuggled under a big duvet listening to the rain on the window.
The first snow .
Puppies/kittens in fact all animals !
Suprises !
My IDH family who have got me through so much  :grouphug;
Roast beef and yorkshire pudding
Fresh flowers
oh it makes me feel better just to think of all the things i like ! :flower;

The smell of newly mown grass, walking in a warm summer shower, rainbows, the smell of freshly perked coffee (even though I don't drink coffee); many, many more, none of which will jump into my mind right now!

the sound of an infant laughing at such funny things as "goo goo"

The smell of sawdust will always remind me of my Father.
And the smell of yeast dough will forever remind me of my Mother, along with Shalimar.

I love puppy breath just because.  :)

Those are a few of my favorite smells.  :)

I absolutely love back rubs. My Grandma started it when I was a kid.  None of my Ex's like my Grandma.  ;)

I like...
...puppy breath
...fresh-fallen snow (no ice -- just the white stuff)
...sitting on the porch during a thunderstorm (not driving in one, though)
...the warmth of my dog (Hop-Sing) when he's curled up in the bed beside me
...a "bear hug" from my husband
...the smell of rain
...the smell of a pipe (brings back memories of my dad's pipe when I was a little girl)
...a couple of hours when I have nowhere to go, nothing to do, and noone I HAVE to talk to
...children
...the smell and taste of the ocean
...dogs
...dogs
...dogs

I love springtime and lilac bushes in full bloom and Iris plants.  I love it when my puppy insists on snuggling under my arm with her head on me.  I love long drives in the passenger seat with snacks and coffee.  I love long walks with my sister on her property


Sadly.... I love the feeling of Anesthesia!

Many of you reminded me of other things I love.  How on earth could I forget my IHD family?  Lightning, that bunny, of course.  How could I forget lobster, dripping in melted butter?!?!?

Favorite things-
Cat whiskers, yes, very much so.

Chickadees with attitudes that sit on the empty feeder and bitch

Murder mystery novels with talking cats for characters

Hot masala Belgian chocolate

Hot pink sunrises over the water

Summer thunderstorms watched from the porch swing

The last few minutes of fireworks while the band plays the Nat'l Anthem

The smell of baking bread

Being able to shut of the alarm and go back to sleep!

I love....

Cool breeze coming through my bedroom window when I am sleeping. 

Being in my husband's arms.

Laughing and chatting with my kids.

Feeling a burst of energy.

Smelling new cut grass, fresh coffee, backyard campfire, and baking bread. 

Getting to know all the caring folks on IHD

I love being insane.  It gives me such a freedom of self expression.  As long as you don't mind stares and sighs It's a good way to live.

KICKSTART,
I don't (cant) read all the messages. I have read some of your rather unhappy messages. I was thinking that you were a Hound Dog, (You know, "cryin all the time) But I am happy to have read some of your more positive up beat messages lately. . . and I realize that "This isn't an unhappy person" I realize that maybe I just hit your messages on a bad day. I'm gald to see that you have a happy side  :cheer:
