    I feel good.. I knew that I would now...

    Someone just sent me this in an email, I thought we could all enjoy it... I know some of them have particular meaning for us....

    Think about these one at a time BEFORE going on to the next one...
    IT DOES MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD, especially the thought at the end.

    NATURAL HIGHS

    1. Being in love.

    2. Laughing so hard your face hurts.

    3. A hot shower.

    4. No queues at the supermarket.

    5. Taking a drive on a pretty road.

    6. Hearing your favourite song on the radio.

    7. Lying in bed listening to the rain outside.

    8. Hot towels fresh out of the dryer.

    9. Chocolate milkshake ... (or vanilla ... or strawberry!)

    10. A bubble bath.

    11. Giggling.

    12. A good conversation.

    13. Finding a $20 note in your coat from last winter.

    14. Running through sprinklers.

    15. Laughing for absolutely no reason at all.

    16. Having someone tell you that you're beautiful.

    17. Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you.

    18. Waking up and realising you still have a few hours left to sleep.

    19. Making new friends or spending time with old ones.

    20. Having someone play with your hair.

    21. Sweet dreams.

    22. Making eye contact with a cute stranger.

    23. Holding hands with someone you care about.

    24. Running into an old friend and realising that some things (good or bad) never change.

    25. Watching the expression on someone's face as they open a much-desired present from you.

    26. Getting out of bed every morning and being grateful for another beautiful day.

    27. Knowing that somebody misses you.

    28. Getting a hug from someone you care about deeply.

    29. Knowing you've done the right thing, no matter what other people think.
    It always seems impossible until it's done....

    Thanks Flip

    Some of those things are just so simple and sometimes we lose track of the small , simple things that make us happpy. Thanks for the reminder. It certainly made me smile. Here is one of my favourite emails. I just love some of these answers from the kids.

              Thanks Betty! It made me smile - WIDE!

              hey! I saw shoes today that look like the ones in your avatar- just as high and as red with a few shiny silver things.

                And thanks to Flip and anke too for the lovely posts.

                Sometimes we`re all too caught up in the "rat-race" to give much thought to the things which truly matter in life........

                  I feel good.. I knew that I would now...

                  Yesterday I went shopping with my 3 year old son. (trying to stay sober on Sunday keeping busy)

                  Well, I am looking at some clothes, and all of a sudden my 3 year old son says to me LOUDLY (hes a loud child LOL). "Mommy! I LOVE you. You are beautiful!"

                  He has never said that to me before. It was the sweetest moment.....

                            BB - they were at a shop in a neighbourhood I was visiting on Monday. Very high! Little more industrial looking than yours, more strappy but very red and very high! The top of the heel is see through so you can see the screw that holds the heel to the base, but very sexy anyway. A photo would be better, I might be in that area again in a week or two and I'll try remeber my camera.
