tell me something good

Everything I've done today has gone wrong. Seems like a lot of things are going wrong for other people too.

So, tell me something that's good or happy-making.

How about a tender robed embrace, most beloved?

*tender robed embrace*

Yes, thank you! *hugs back*

I've had this window open for a long time trying to think of something happy-making, but I'm not in much of a happy mood myself.

But how about this: I and a whole lot of other people think you're a totally amazing guy. *hugs*

I've been following your posts and feeling sheepish for not saying much, since I know I can't help in any concrete way or make promises about the future. But I do think you're a totally amazing person. *hugs back*

Oh, hon - never worry about not commenting. Just knowing I have friends around helps.

Something good: I went to a funeral today, and while it was sad, it was also a warm, loving experience. I had a chance to reconnect with some people I love and care about a lot, and I think we all appreciated being together.

Also, yesterday I made plum jam with cinnamon and vanilla, from our first harvest of our own plum trees. It turned out awesome. :)

Plum jam. Wow, that sounds good. Making my own jam is one of the few cooking things I've never had a chance to do.

I've had lots of good things happen this week. Or maybe just regular things but my brain chemistry is interpreting them as happy, which is a good thing in itself.

Hmmm... a list:

1. Cozy feelings with the present-continuous boy
2. Some successful socialist/anarchist drama damage control
3. Starting my Angst Sabbatical* aka biochemistry classes!
4. Reconnecting with a friend I haven't seen in a few months
5. *(continued) Deciding that I'm just not going to worry about anything for a while - that psychological coping strategies are good as well as tragic
6. Autumn!

Totes!

whenever i'm feeling glum, i try to remember that out there is all kinds of life. right now there some creature that looks like this (http://api.ning.com/files/HYPlJ-bg1isk*qn1nIcg7FxHPXbY4rVlvo3lnGxqXxv0r53VcwGjCvEsGRaiZMd0eOtppEByJQEdruaGMGPpqd*dRVzPcueI/0820cheetah20cub.jpg) is out there at this very moment living. it may be having a rough time, what with the limited gene pool, but the individual probably doesn't care much about things like that.
and somewhere out there is a well-fed animal lazing around in the sun as happy as could be.
or a big ole jellyfish is floating through the seas.
and they're really there. physically there. and you're part of the world with them :)

maybe it's weird, but i feel like remembering that the world is bigger than any individual's problems, or that as long as you're not dying thisverysecond, then chances are that there will definitely be a day when you're very happy in the future, makes everything ok.

That's how I tend to think of things too!
