Posts: 2979 07/02/09 10:57 AM	In an effort to counteract grey skies and greyer moods I am actively looking for things that make me happy (that aren't food, although comfort food has a large part in my grey skies recovery program) So.... poodles frapping DD or DS quipping a particularly clever comment or observation. (they have such great brains) Hugs. A warm comforter and a brand new book. Lunch with a friend (OK, this does involve food, but it's food with a friend, so it doesn't count) Playing my flute Flute lessons Waking up slowly. How about you. What makes you happy? (and those dogs up top, that picture makes me giggle every time I see it)

Doing a puzzle - alone or with someone, it's all good Listening to good music while moving it on the elliptical machine ~Thia (my site) Tai, Russ, Dezi, & the Kitties

Posts: 4557 07/02/09 12:50 PM Senior Member	Today I had to leave my office for a meeting. I walked outside, the sun was shining, a breeze was blowing and the temperature was perfect. I had on comfortable sandals too. I got to my meeting and learned, woops, it was supposed to be in my office & the assistant forgot to tell me, so I got to turn back around & walk back to my office and enjoy the beautiful day some more. If she had told me earlier, then I wouldn't have left my desk & I wouldn't have experienced that moment on this perfect July day. After I've run. Pre-run I'm busy thinking of excuses; peri-run I'm thinking "how soon will this be over"; post-run "Yay! I feel good that I did it [maybe I can do the 4-Miler after all]!" Hearing my son quietly practicing guitar in his room. My daughter, 13, had swimmer's ear. Late at night, when it started hurting, she climbed into bed with me, reminding me that even though she's growing up, she's still my baby. Holding Brinker in my lap like a big fluffy baby. He becomes a boneless, relaxed mass o' dog. Sadie, holding a down-stay and looking at me with sweet eyes, confident that she's doing what I asked her (while Brinker keeps popping up beside her) Working all day in the garden, and then standing back and seeing what we've accomplished.

Brushing a dog Hugging a dog Cleaning my house and having it stay that way for a whole DAY (can you tell my youngest just left home?) Garden Planning Garden Catalog perusing. Reading for FUN.

Back and forth teasing with my wife. Sitting outside in the evening with Pantsie, just relaxing while the kids and Grace ram around and play.

Posts: 4513 07/02/09 3:04 PM Senior Member	Discovering a new author I love... who has written many, many books I have not read Yes! I'll second that one. Had that experience twice in the last few weeks. Bliss... Watching Indy nest in his crate before we both go to bed for the night. He throws the blanket out, then digs it back in where it was. Some is better than none. ~Kellie

Ok, list although I won't be able to get it in that format (Shoot, that's what I could have been doing during all this rain, figuring out the computer, will start tomorrow). SLeeping in late because it really is to rainy to go running, meeting friends in a few hours at a local pub, playing new games with dogs in basement due to afore mentioned rain, watching my 2 coach potatoes Jack and Paddy set a good example by snoozing soundly on the sofa (pay attention Sophie please!!), cooking yummy food because really no one is ever going to see me in a bathing suit this summer, going on a road trip down the coast with my youngest daughter because what else are we going to do?

Posts: 20800 07/02/09 3:47 PM Professional Trainer/Owns Board	My multiple containers filled with toad tadpoles saved from a drying pond earlier (much earlier) this spring. The contented sigh of a dog curled in my lap. Purring. Nickering. New seedings breaking through the ground. A busy birdhouse. Fresh (if wet) raspberries. Curled up on a coach, chatting with a dear friend. Sarah Wilson Your dog can change but you have to change first.

Joe Hill has also really thrilled me, but as he's only one novel, a short story collection, and a new graphic novel series in, he doesn't quite fit the "lots of books I haven't yet read" qualification. There's also Stephen Bodio, but as a friend I am quite biased. Atomic Nerds

Posts: 2474 07/02/09 8:00 PM	I have been so down lately- too many hours- not loving the new job one bit, but, sometimes when the sun peeks behind the clouds, or Roni greets me all happy and puts his head on my shoulder....my Mom and Dad actually MISSING ME not what I do for them but missing ME to talk to( just feels like I am needed). A good strong drink at the end of a long horrid day- blowing the doors off some jerk who's putzing in front of me....gotta stop, getting stressed again.....

Posts: 3902 07/02/09 9:06 PM	a little happy moment from today: Get home from work, get out of the car... Can hear the wind blowing through the trees behind the house, and birds chirping all over the place. I actually just stood beside my car for a few minutes, smiling. It may be small, but I sure love my home... ~Thia (my site) Tai, Russ, Dezi, & the Kitties

Posts: 701 07/03/09 1:50 PM Professional Trainer	WAY too many to list (I live a charmed life), but here are a few: --Watching dogs play...I love my guys playing, but watching the shelter dogs do it (or my students' dogs) before we train with them is great --Soothing cool breezes when the humidity is low and you are reminded of fall --a mint julep on the verandah with your feet up --a wet towel draped over my nearly-bald head on a hot day...it's bliss, people --the afternoon/evening before a few days off is about to begin --laughing in that pee-in-your-pants way with friends --getting a base hit up the middle (it's even nicer when it's an RBI) --noticing my students' dogs getting better each week, and the way they beam when I point this out to them --a good book, and nothing to do but read
