Good Things - Page 3

A 2 am conversation with a friend you feel like you've known forever...and not even caring about the time - or the fact you've got to work in the morning

redsonia · 08-26-2004, 03:39 PM

Snowboarding in fresh powder
Dogs licking my face
Hugs from my kids
Finding a great book at the used book store

Two purring cats.

Kitsune · 08-29-2004, 09:25 AM

A good cup of coffee after an excellent dinner.
Watching the sun come up over the fields and warm the world while on a roadtrip.
Hearing a song so good it gives you goosebumps.
Hearing the engines spool up and getting pushed into your seat by the force of takeoff on an airplane.
The Appalachian Mountains.
Waking on a Sunday thinking it is a Monday.
Thanksgiving Day + Blanket + Food + Family + Football.
The blue-green color the ocean turns on a good sunset.
A quiet, overcast, grey day every once in awhile.

Long lazy Sunday mornings cuddled on the couch with a cat, a dog, a cup of tea and the NYT Crossword puzzle

easy laughter
snow days
sincere smiles
quiet
good peaches
red wine
back scratches
foot rubs
camp fires
screened porches
loon calls
Italy

Being admired after someone secretly rifles through your private journal and really enjoys the way you have described them. This has never happened to Me however, but I can imagine that this would be a very good thing about now.

Ernestine · 09-14-2004, 06:31 PM

mmmm, macaroni and cheese ...doh

Reading the first few pages of a new book and realizing that this is one you're really going to sink into.

Friends who know you well enough to know that if you say something that sounds mean or insensitive you were probably just making a lame attempt at humor and you're really a pretty nice person in spite of everything.

Finding a new message board where everyone seems really cool and quite tolerant of the inane utterings of newbies.

Jacquelita · 09-14-2004, 08:10 PM

In no particular order...

An intimate (funny) conversation - when you both completely "get" each other
a foot rub
the first deeply penetrating stroke
saying exactly what you wanted to say, exactly the way you wanted to say it
A big comfy chair after a long day
A freshly made bed with crisp linen sheets and a huge down comforter
the sweet smell of timothy grass on a cool summer evening

Clodfobble · 09-14-2004, 08:49 PM

...

You know, spewing ginger ale all over my keyboard is probably not very good for it...

Jacquelita is my new hero.

Being with a group of close friends, having a barbecue lunch on a verdant hill overlooking a gorgeous beach, listening to the crystal blue waves gently rolling in, the gulls chirping, and sipping a glass of good Aussie red.

Did I mention watching eagles gracefully soaring overhead?...

Grillin out with your buddies in the backyard and driving stick shift through the country.

Catwoman · 09-15-2004, 05:11 AM

Smiling at a sexy stranger smiling right back
When someone says and means 'what do you think about that?'
Getting home from work to find an old friend waiting
Laughing drinking spilling playing poker and debating
Letting go of everything and letting life live you
Feeling your heart pounding after meeting someone new
Sleeping next to someone warm who burns your heart and soul
Cuddles kisses strokes delicious touching making whole
Walking and washing in waterfalls, swimming away in the sea
Living alone together with nature, forgetting all about 'me'
Knowing you've found true companionship
Not illusions of romance or love
Realising that this is life
and that it is enough.
