What a crappy day. Rather than doing my usual wallowing, however, I am going to list some of the things that make life worthwhile (in no particular order):
Beeswax candles
My kids
Ben and Jerry's Fudge Central
Roger McGuin's pealing guitar intro to "Mr. Tambourine Man"
Hugging
brian1789
Cyberhugs (and real ones) from
geekchick
Chatting with
griffen
LJ -- and all my friends here
frankenboob's sense of humor
Christmas music
Advent wreaths
Pleasantly surprising people
PBS
The Powerpuff Girls
The Wild Thornberries
Hot tubs
Tom Lehrer
Folk music
Rock Music
Jazz
"Take Five" by Dave Brubek
"Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin
"In My life" by the Beatles
The second side of "Abbey Road" -- especially that killer bridge between "Polythene Pam" and "She Came in through the Bathroom Window"
Roger Daltrey's vocals on "Won't Get Fooled Again"
just about anything sung by Kathy Mattea or Mary Chapin Carpenter
Good animation, traditional or computer-generated
Bad puns
Bonfires
Beaches in winter
"Red Dwarf"
"Law and Order" and "CSI"
"Bambi Meets Godzilla"
LOTR: novels and movies
silly Naked Quidditch sites
Singing
Sunrises and sunsets over the ocean
Football
T-ball games -- and the small people who play them
Knowing my friends know who I am, and they like me anyway
So, what do you think makes life worthwhile?
