to write;
"...I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting for their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free."

-The Peace of Wild Things; Wendell Berry

things that recently made life good:

basking in the sun on a cloudy day
seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling rain of any sort
breathing the air after rain
noticing the smell of fresh laundry
feeling the wind
being hugged by somebody who means it
understanding physics
looking at happy photographs
playing ball or just sprinting..
spending time with someone and feeling so right
walking in the rain, all the better if someone else is with you
admiring someone's handwriting
seeing a pretty colour or pattern
knowing the people you care about are safe
smiling out of nowhere when a funny memory surfaces
trying not to laugh when silly things happen
sharing a smile at an inside joke
hearing a favourite song play on the radio
reading a good book
doing something you thought you'd never dare to even try
celebrating wildly with someone over something that made them glad
screaming madly out of pure excitement and joy
collecting misc tokens from the people you care about
fooling around with folk when all of you are supposed to be working
succeeding when you honestly thought you wouldn't
pushing yourself as hard as you can to prove yourself to you
having somebody come over just to say hi
.
.
.
(in no order.)
