This is Sushi's thread, but I miss it. I hope she doesn't mind if I start it up again.
Ibarra hot chocolate (it has cinnamon and yummy spices in it).
Snuggling the cat.
A day off teaching to curl up in bed with a book.
Soup. Especially carrot ginger soup.
Sunflowers in the yard.
Flannel PJ's.
Sitting up on the roof at night with candles.
Hugs. Especially those unsolicited ones from five year old students, because they adore you.
Getting an email from a girlfriend saying she's finally landed the man of her dreams, and she wasn't even looking. _________________ "To be truly radical is to make hope possible, rather than despair convincing."

And having a cat.

Getting even the tiniest e-mail from someone that means a lot to you.
Helping another person to feel better, even just by listening.
Seeing a shy smile bloom on a baby girl's face.
Being at peace, even when life whirls by around you.
Listening to music.
Singing your heart out without caring whether anyone'll hear you.
Sleeping in, all cuddled up in the covers and pillows.
Catching warm sun beams on your face.
Counting down to something you're really looking forward to.
Feeling loved. _________________ "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." - Albert Einstein |

Amen to that one. I know most brothers would never openly admit it, but I love my brother. If anything happens to him while he's there, I won't know what to do. _________________
