I don't know about anyone else, but nothing gets my spirits up or myself galvanized into action (of any kind) than a great song or a music video that i can bop or toe-tap to.
I usually have a 'flavour of the week' theme song that constantly plays on repeat in my head that either lifts my mood or evokes images and/or feelings of love, or just makes me burst into 'skinny white boy's got it going on' styled dance... within the relative privacy of my own home of course.
This at the moment is such a feel good for me as i'm sure it might be for many of you. YouTube - P!nk - Raise Your Glass
No matter when or where i hear it, it always manages to get a buzz out of me. Some of you may hate Pink, but just for a moment turn it up slightly and allow yourself to just "go with it"... i find it inspiring.
And in the spirit of inspiring - and the upcoming festive season - i thought that for a change we could all spread a little cheer amongst our fellow LPSG'ers. Times have been tough for everybody and i doubt anybody here has come away unscathed this year, whether financially, emotionally, psychologically, physically or other...
So feel free to post links to things that make you feel good and that might serve as a pick-me-up for others. Anything from quotable quotes to sites dedicated to photography, cooking, architecture, wildlife, pottery, music, music videos etc. Anything which brings a little joy to you and might do the same for someone else.
Alternatively i thought we might try something even simpler, such as posting a compliment about a fellow poster or letting someone know why they inspire you. I have a list of posters whose posts i follow with fascination for various reasons.
They are (in no particular order)
1) Exwhyzee - he knows why
2) Hilaire - erudite and constantly challenges me to think quickly on my feet
3) Bbucko - always thought provoking and insightful posts.
4) Empathizer - i almost always laugh out loud at her wicked sense of humour
5) Maxcock - Practicality personified. Whilst he might dish out verbal lashings every now and then, he keeps me in check.
6) Hhuck - Compassionate and perspicacious with insight into a great many things.
7) Erratic - A sensitive and magnanimous soul of whom i have such respect
8) Hickboy - Grizzly with a heart of gold (you just have to get past the fuzzy exterior :wink
9) Vinylboy - His posts keep me glued and entertained, he never fails to deliver quality (whether you agree with him or not. Period.:biggrin1
10) Aconitum - The few posts of hers i have come across, i have thoroughly enjoyed reading and she has a 'mom'/voice of reason quality that makes me comfortable:smile:
11)CunningStunt - I envy him his happily committed relationship and hope to someday have a fraction of that for myself. Keep it up.
12) TatooedMamaMeg - Another nurturer (i think i might have vicarious oedipus complex)
There are soooo many more...but i'll leave it up to the individuals of the community to post something a little more positive for someone to brighten their day...we could all really use a little more cheer. (P.s I dare you not to bounce along to Pink's - raise your glass.:tongue
