How "Saying Thanks" Will Make You Happier
Things to be thankful for:
-dreams about owls, madly constructed teeter totting houses, and swooping birds we dive under the water to chase
-rooms tinted red, settled with dust, hot with ideas
-a scar in the shape of a question mark
-"that teenage feeling"
-monkeys
-safety blooming from uncertainty
-exhilaration, a heart that pulses
-shock waves that ripple from simple art of hands held tightly
-beautiful boys who hand me hummus filled pita sandwiches
-progress to pluto
-stars, galaxies unheard of and unseen, the possibility of flight
-sunlight
-fat, happy, twin baby nieces who love to read and leave me messages saying "hey lady, i wuv you", who create these ties that bind, who breathe meaning into "family"
-made up words, hidden code, sexual innuendo, volumes relayed through touch and glance.
-missoula, montana
-necks, napes, collar bones, the small of ones back, the arch of ones foot, soft spots behind the ear, the inpress on the side of ones temple
-subtext
-the smell of a used bookstore
-standing on a freeway overpass at night
-hot coffee in your hand, in crisp cold air, with no gloves on
-ridiculousness, giddiness, fondness, and all good things that end in ness
