moodyskydiver 0 #1 September 19, 2002 Since I've had a bad week and been rather "moody" lately, I tried to start thinking about all the little things that make me happy.Those "natural highs" that give you a little pick-me-up when you're feeling down and think things are at their worst.So I was just wondering, what makes y'all smile? Here are some of my favorites: sunsets hugs fresh coffee laughing kisses singing along with the radio a hot shower road trips a good conversation chocolate fresh fruit scented candles a look that shares an inside joke spending time with friends old and new cuddling great sex a good book warm sun on my face someone saying "I love you" (and of course)skydiving "...just an earthbound misfit, I."

rhino 0 #5 September 19, 2002 I like watching the people on the porch scatter as I swoop the barn house at Napolean.. That is a natural high.. LOL Probably the best thing is hugging my son.. When a baby nuzzles in my neck. Watching my woman have an orgasm time after time. Thinking about being a Dad again.. Never quitting.. Cuddling. Flying through the clouds under canopy.

Sassy 0 #6 September 19, 2002 Cool idea!! I need to be remembering these things myself right now while my life is totally upside down. I'm just going to add a few because you've both covered lots of mine already. Cold days at the beach with a fire going Soft rain (like what's outside my window right now) My beautiful, adoring puppy Bubble baths with candles all round Good food, fine wine and great friends to share it with Snuggling with somebody special in front of a roaring fire in the fireplace Baking homemade cookies The world decorated for Christmas Finding the perfect card for someone I'm sure there's more but I have to head into an online meeting right now Sassy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #7 September 19, 2002 The gap-toothed smiles of a couple of sweaty little six year old girls drawing with big chalk on the driveway. My first freefall kiss. Knowing where the bottom is. And knowing I'm not there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dida 0 #8 September 19, 2002 DUH!!!! BEER!!!!! yeah, that...and... laying naked in the sun the sound of canopies opening above your head driving out of new york city on a friday afternoon rigorous exercise (great sex falls in this category) laughing with my friends having my boyfriends arms around me talking to my mama singing high and loud - especially on a stage booking airline tickets buying new shoes reading old journals surprising someone with a gift spiral out...keep going...

freeflir29 0 #9 September 19, 2002 Tuesday...being Head Down with Lyle in a stand....smokin it down at over 200MPH. Really wanted to dock but I think I would have corked going that fast. Watching Caryn try Head down and giving her pointers. It's so fun to watch people learn. Riding the tug down the taxi way with a beer in each hand when the moon is up and the stars are out. Hooking over the hangar and going by the flags at mach snot. The beautiful lighting and clouds in my videos in the late afternoon. Watching exit shots of tandems on my camera. The sky is so chrystal blue up there even when it doesn't look so nice from the ground. Hmmm...what can I say. I'm a skydiver. The rest of life seems a bit boring and tedious at the moment.

JDBoston 0 #11 September 19, 2002 [ Watching my woman have an orgasm time after time. ] Rhino, you put that in so many of your posts, I think it should just be in your signature.

AggieDave 6 #13 September 19, 2002 Skydiving (duh) having a few drinks with friends lifting so much weight the bar is bending and the gym stops to watch ripping a screaming solo on my trumpet playing music listening to music Aggie Traditions (Whoop!) putting a smile on someone's face wasting away an afternoon playing dominos with friends 2-stepping the night away the list could go on and on, but that'll do for now. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

JohnJug 0 #14 September 19, 2002 Well, most of mine are already covered. But the daily affirmation I like the most is when I get home from work and my faithful dog is sitting at the window next to the front door waiting. As soon as I open the door he bursts out and bounces all around ecstatic to see me. Nothing like total unconditional love and devotion to pick you up after a crappy day at the office.

It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #22 September 19, 2002 That was me. I had gone around the end of the hangers by the other packing area and played facing down the runway, away from the crowd. That way it'd sound distant and soft, although I was playing really f'n loud. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Michele 1 #25 September 19, 2002 QuoteThose "natural highs" that give you a little pick-me-up when you're feeling down and think things are at their worst fires in fireplaces fresh baked bread a rainbow peeking out of the clouds watching birds fly a long walk on the shore, waves tickling my bare feet gardening long, slow, gentle sex a down comforter on a cold cold night my kitties chasing each other around the house giving a jump tix to someone who's done right by me a smile from a stranger a phone call from someone you want to hear from assisting someone in reaching their goal And a ton of others. Thanks for starting this thread, Amber. Having had to bury a friend and co-worker this week, it's been sort of difficult to remember good things, simple things, within easy reach, that can brighten and lift the spirit.
