Goodness, how much more do we have to take? The 2016 election
process just goes on and on. There are days when it seems that things will
never improve, that we’ll never see the end of this tawdry campaign season. I
crack open the New York Times every morning and every morning I get to read
about more tragedy, more horror, more unsettled and unhappy things going on in the
world. My partner wondered aloud the other day if there was room for a morning
edition that just had good news in it. I have to wonder if it would
sell, as it seems that we really only get jacked up and out the door in the
morning if the tv talking heads, the radio mouthpieces and the newspaper
scribes give us something negative to ponder and gripe about instead.
So, rather than comment on all the things that we are tired of worrying about I thought, for a change, that I would trot out a list of cool
and wonderful things that really get me jazzed and excited about living instead. Feel free
to drop me a line with your own personal favorites if you’d like. The things on
this list will be around in my life long after the election is over next week,
that’s for sure!
Here are some great things I can’t picture doing without!
A solid, long lasting and passionate relationship
Long term friends
A good haircut in a real barbershop
A tasty cheeseburger (with onions!)
A cold beer (or three)
A frosty fall morning
A decent municipal fireworks display
A story well told (movies, books, storytellers, doesn’t
matter, all good with me!)
A get up on your feet, shake your booty live musical
experience
A letter in the mail from an old pal
A freshly brewed cup of coffee (the darker the better)
A crisp, farm fresh apple
An honest assessment of the situation at hand
An old movie house that smells of fresh popped popcorn (velvet curtains that open before the movie a plus!)
A walk in the snow
A warm, solid handshake
A winning smile
A well-made bed
The end of a perfect day
A shared, home cooked meal
The lights of a carnival at night
A warm and toasty fire
A long walk in the sand
A good splash in a brisk surf
My kid’s laughter
Waking up to a new day (no hangovers, please!)
A well rolled joint of really dynamite grass
Love the whole live long day
Thanks, everyone, for your indulgence! May your life be long,
inspired and happy!
Salud!
