Thank you Jadzia...this is why you are the goddess...you always make us smile and appreciate what is good in the world!

May I add one or two....

~ enjoying the silence and beauty of a sunset with your special
someone
~ the feeling of strong arms wrapped around you
~ leaves falling
~ kittens at play
~ the belly laughs of children
~ a water fight in the heat of summer
~ leaning against your lover at sunset around a campfire
~ hearing "I love you"

*sigh....all mushy now!

pokahotass · 06-20-2003, 04:53 PM

That was fantastic

snowy · 06-21-2003, 09:47 AM

Wow, thank you. Each of those things has some special moment associated with it. How wonderful to go through each one and look at it like a photograph.

bondagegirl · 06-21-2003, 09:29 PM

TanteMegs · 07-09-2003, 07:32 AM

I really enjoyed this post. I have a fe to add, but I need to tell you that I work with handicapped children, helping them ride horses, known as Hippo Therapy.

Watching the first smile.
Seeing them accomplish something they never could by themselves.
The joyful expression on their face when they say hi to mom, who is behind the wall looking scared.

I have several other experiences like these, they always make me smile and feel good looking back on them.
