• I am the singer of our grudge/hardcore band called—not kidding—NATURAL HIGH! We are from Germany! Greetings! Sven.
• The memory of reading upstairs while the relatives watch tv downstairs Thanksgiving after the big meal.
• A first kiss with someone you've dreamed of kissing for a long time.
• Holding your young child in your arms and knowing that you love each other unconditionally.
• Finally solving a difficult problem after failing to do so many times.
• Rubbing your eyes after wearing hard contact lens for days.
• Trying to kiss my cat's cheek and knowing she has no idea what I'm doing.
• Saying the name of the one you love.
• Writing poems and sending them to my boyfriend who is overseas.
• I find that no matter how stressed I get about anything, working in my flower gardens seems to make even the most traumatic of situations seem minute. There's something about the feel of the dirt under my fingernails, and watching the productions of nature take place due to my planting and weeding that brings an immeasurable joy.
• Talking on the phone to a friend at 3 in the morning.
• Lying on the beach at night and feeling only the waves.
• Receiving a package from my UPS man!
