  • Fresh corn on the cob
  • Eating a perfect fresh peach over the sink because it's too juicy
  • Cherries just at the height of freshness when they're just slightly crunchy and nearly black
  • Late afternoons and evenings in August spent with friends and family out on the porch
  • Indoor plumbing with hot running water
  • OTC pain relievers
  • Road trips with good friends
  • Opening the mailbox to find a new issue of a good magazine
  • A good haircut
  • Wondering if you have a serious illness only to discover it's very minor
  • Discovering a new band or singer
  • The incomparable majesty of fireflies on a summer's night while listening to a symphony of insects and tree frogs and seeing flashes of heat lightning in the distance from your sleeping porch as you wait for the sandman under freshly ironed linen sheets
  • Spending time with your grandparents
  • Coming home to someone who loves you

*The smell of freshly cut grass.
*The scent of the stone fruit in the markets in summer (christmas time)
*Dancing and frolicking naked in the waves on a beach during a full moon.
*A perfect ripe mango.
*The smells and sensation of riding a fit horse through a eucalypt forest during a light rain storm. The scent of horse sweat, leather and rain soaked earth and eucalypts is heady.
*The feeling of laying sweaty and panting next to the person you desire more than air, looking across at them and feeling that desire and hunger come full force to the surface again.
*That first sip of a well crafted wine.
*Siting alone in a darkened house and listening to Sade while sipping Wild Turkey Rare Breed and not feeling silly about letting tears roll down your face.
*The breathless excitement of preparing to meet a Lover for the first time
* My cat stretching out beside me and reaching out a paw to make sure he is touching me and falling asleep purring.
* Long, strong hugs and kisses along my neck and jaw while cuddling on the couch.

a nice hot shower after a hard workout...

the smell of jasmine...

warm peach cobbler...

lying naked on top of my bed when the weather is just right & a nice breeze blows through my bedroom & across my skin...

getting a hug from a baby...

that feeling of satisfaction after a great meal...

looking deep into the eyes of the one you love while you hold them close...

1The soothing sound of the waves washing up on the shore.

2The peaceful sweet serenade of a bird in a nearby tree.

3Sitting out under a tree with a glass of water, a good friend, and just having a bunch of laughs. All it costs is time and the rewards are life long.

4An unsought hug that isn't bone crushing, and the person holds you not just a fleeting grab. (A guy I know does this, he has a gift for ministering to wounded warriors. He just does it naturally without thinking.)

5The gentle southern breeze rustling through the oak trees.

6A butterly, dragonfly or ladybug landing on me, and peacefully sitting there.

7The happy look of an animal that is glad to see me. All they want is to give you love and not hurt you.

8The sound of waves when you hold a large shell to your ear.

9The sweet innocent smile and laugh of a child.

yeah those foot longers really give you a good feeling about yourself until they still don't go down on the third flush

Laying in a field of sweetgrass and just watching the clouds roll by.
Sitting on a hilltop, above a river, and watching a hawk make lazy circles in the sky.
Walking into my grandma's kitchen while she's baking the best chocolate chip cookies ever.
Catching a big, old fluffy snowflake on your tongue.
Walking thru the newly fallen leaves in autumn.
Just sitting in the woods and looking at the colors of the leaves in fall.
The smell of a campfire on a cool October night, when the night sky is just full of stars.
The look of respect your parents give you when you've achieved something wonderful.
The sight of a lit up Christmas tree in a dark room.
The laughter of good friends sharing a meal and a joke together.
The hug of your team mates when you've scored a goal on the soccer field.
The taste of Constant Comment tea after shoveling the heavy snow from the walkway.
Thanking someone for the kindness they've showed you.

Hugging a friend who's upset and seeing them smile as they thank you for making them feel better :)
And also the farting in a lift, we've got a 1 person one at work. Let one go today, got off with the straightest face then burst out laughing as some poor guy was beginning 5 slow floors of ascent with my scent. Purest laughter in the world.

Lanes Cove

I spent practically every day of my childhood summers hanging out there.

It hasn't changed a bit except the lobster pots are metal now instead of wood.

Thanks to today's technology even though I'm 3,000 miles away I can still take a look and see what's going on. Cool.
