I just read, well, re-read, a post on the male survivor forum that was started by demonboi and I thought it was so great. It's called Things that make you feel okay and if you haven't read it, you should.

It made me think that with all of the really heavy stuff going on all over this site, all of which is important and necessary, a little levity would not be a bad thing over on this side to. So please feel free, everyone, to post a thought or two or twenty.

The bright spots that make up my life are:

My beautiful daughter. She's mine alright, 18 and full of piss and vinegar;

My b/f, who makes me laugh like no one else in this world;

Our home-made beach in the backyard where all our friends are welcome to come and act ridiculous {believe me, they do!};

My 2 retarted cats, who love me to death;

Our loveable and crazy dog Casey;

telling silly stories with my family - about my family - and laughing so hard we all cry;

my best girlfriend Heidi, cause she's crazy and down to earth all at the same time;

my digital camera to record the wonderful memories;

hours and hours sitting in the hot tub talking with my love;

my beach house and all of the wonderful people that enjoy it with me;

teaching my daughter and her friends how to shampoo their hair in a rain storm;

a gorgeous weather weekend like the upcoming one to enjoy the sunshine;

and so much more to come........

ROCK ON............Trish
 
Trish, I loved your list.........especially "teaching your daughter how to wash your hair in the rain"......a perfect lingering thought. Hope all is well with you.
 
Things that make me feel OK

My cat falling asleep on his back

Still sitting warm in the sun in my garden watching far away dark rain clouds sweep in across the valley

Knowing that the world is still operating OK as migratory birds gather to leave or start to arrive

Tha faint smell of sheep on a warm day high up in the moorlands

The recent cheeky, happy, lively, bouyancy of my loved one's face when he gets in from work

Memories of watching and listening to chipmunks in Yosemite backcountry

The feel of a thick unread sunday newspaper and a free afternoon

Coffee and cake

A long, wide empty beach, a setting sun and a couple of miles tired, happy walk back to the car

Bird footprints in otherwise smooth snow

My sisters account of my plump, grumpy mother trying to mount an unwilling elephant in an islolated area of Thailand, apparantly he didn't like her smell... if it doesn't come across, its the funniest thing I've ever heard

Autumn leaves, before and after they fall

The familiarity of my friends chatter when we gather

My new duvet, its fluffy, light and soft like icecream

Watching my loved one lovingly care for his glossy healthy plants

A steamy bubbly bath when I don't actually need one

The ridiculous suggestions and actual laughter when loved one and I try to think of a description for being turned on that doesn't trigger him

The beauty and power of moving horses

Wearing his warm winter coat

Wild wild wind (I mean wild by English standards)

Sat dry inside the tent when its raining outside

Walking around barefoot

Thats about it for now, a big thankyou to Demonboi for having such a great suggestion in the first place, also a thought for you Sammy if you read this.
Making a move might be very scary right now with no guarantees that life will be better but you've already listed some things that were better about being on your own and my bet is you could list a lot more. Have courage, I'm thinking of you and sending you love.
