No drama

Fresh dark sweet cherries

Sleepy puppies

Homemade Italian pasta salad

Quiet time

Light
 

an uncluttered clean home/office space

space to rest the eyes and soul

less is more

clean lines = beauty

beauty of clean uncluttered spaces= joy

1. Health. It is by far the most incredible gift anyone could have.

2. Unconditional Love. Enough said.

3. Peaceful Moments. Just to be.

4. Space and Time to Grow.

5. Understanding and the Absence of Judgment.

1. Be thankful for friends that you can be your total self with...even if they do call you a dork. :)

2. Make a To Do list then hide it from yourself and go fishing for the day.

3. Find the To Do list.

4. Love and hug on your dog and take them for a walk even when you don't want to. The return is great!

5. Last is a quote but I find it fits here well...
"The next 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not, so why not think about something you have always wanted to try and give it a shot for the next 30 days?" — Matt Cutts

Letting/ watching that beautiful butterfly go, admiring their colors and grace, feeling blessed they showed their beauty to you for a fleeting moment ... letting them go to bring joy to another.

Watching/ chasing a rainbow just as it's fading ..feeling its magic and the awe it brought for a fleeting moment ...searching tomorrow's cloudy sky with the hopes of a child thrilled at the sight of another rainbow ... a rainbow fading is not always a rainbow gone or joy gone.

Finding comfort in memories of past fleeting moments.

Watching a stunning daddy bluebird protect his young ...

Surviving the recent storms, knowing tomorrow will be different.

Hardware stores miss real hardware stores where I could
look around forever thinking of projects/repairs and checking
out the tools I would need that I didn't already have damn miss
them yeah I know about Home Depot but its the
neighborhood Hardware store that I miss today

Silky wavy curly Black as night with sliver streaks hair
framing warm kind bright soulful eyes that "speak"
intelligence in their gaze

long in-depth conversation about the world and solutions

equally in-depth silence together where only our bodies
eyes hands do the "talking"

long walks/hikes exploring the desert

Greco

i can't even begin to follow dis, so i won't... georgeous!

:rrose: Coffee and conversation on the patio every morning

:rrose: Late night swims together, looking at the stars :moonstars:

:rrose: Laughing together about kayaks, and pink hand grenades, and everything else...

:rrose: Seeing an eagle hovering with a fish in his talons...just riding the breeze over the causeway

:rrose: All of us at dog beach, soaking up the sun and the beauty of the day

lucky me!!!
 

an all day "cleaning" fest
an all day "cooking" fest
after care pizza
a day at folsum
fresh scallops

My store opened and it was a successful grand opening!!!!

I got a wonderful card in the mail today...love you!

I am loved!

I am heading to the YM to go to the heated pool..omg..what a pleasure!

I got a smart phone and square to take Credit card and debit card payments

Finding two good movies that I've wanted to see in a while...getting all excited like a little kid watching their first wild sci-fy with booming speakers... and loving that feeling reminding me of how my son and I loved watching sci-fy together. We did a lot of bonding over sci-fy.

My silly goofy puppy jumping out of the car at the pharmacy before I could catch her, all excited then totally confused when she hit pavement... She was so comical when she realized she wasn't at home... She makes me laugh so hard! (but nearly cost me my heart when she jumped out) time to carry the crate with me... She and Woo Bear have been my companions all day during a difficult work day...I love their wagging tails!

Getting a very interesting/intriguing message on a board where I posted a "looking for friends" profile... three letters describes the message... Y.U.M.!

Getting a VERY difficult project done in final format today... time to breathe...

Encouraging words from two dear friends...one afar, one near.

For your love, I would sell the Devil my soul.

a good flirt
shared smiles and laughter
visuals of a friend having fun with their baby niece
finding a new friend that has offered to help find a nice place close to work
toasting to possibilities

and an added bonus...
flirting making me :blush: many times
Feeling appreciated and respected

Reading a very good book

Pearly gray skies

Rain

The kind of sunshine that warms you delicately
as if it were a crisp fall day during summer

A walk in the woods after soaking in a natural hot spring;
experiencing the enchantment of natural beauty among the pine trees

My baby's white tee shirts
Pyrite beach sand
Elderly cats who know all the sunny spots in the house
White rice
Bees

Mame

Cabaret

Gypsy

Hair
