Sweetness and Light eminate from my......

Aloha! I have been in a pretty dark place lately and my posts seem to reflect a lot of negative, if constructive, energy. I sorely tried to just get some things off my chest and move on...a brain drain if you will. Sorry if you now think I'm a bitter biddy, I'm not. Really, I'm not!So I have decided to write about some things that are a simple pleasure and delight to me when encountered in the "real world".

1) When my hair is blowing in the wind and you sweep the loose strands back behind an ear....
2) When you open my door, pull out my chair, or walk on the street side to keep me safe.
3) Your hand casually seeking mine to hold...anywhere, anytime. And the bonus is the thumb rubbing the back of my hand and you aren't even aware your doing it.
4) Guiding me via your hand on the small of my back, when we are walking, or dancing, or even standing still.
5) Small languid kisses on my neck, and shoulders. Caresses on skin.
6) Gentle deep kisses, while being held in firm, not crushing, embraces.
7) Your smile, and the light in your eyes when you see me.
8) Simultaneous laughter, over anything great or small. Simultaneous wonder at life around us.
9) Teaching me something I didn't know, show me the art of it. Woodworking, History, Flora, Fauna, and more. If it's your passion or hobby, or just makes you happy share it with me...
10) Looking into my eyes and not looking away. Intimacy, is in the eyes.
11) Resting my head on your chest/shoulder, listening to your heart beat. Any position.
12) Comfortable silences.
13) Hearing Children laugh, those gut wrenching, laughs.
14) Blowing bubbles in the wind. Watching birds surf the air currents.
15) Eating messy food and letting it run down my chin, neck, and beyond, especially a juicy Mango...Somethings are made for the bathtub.
16) Holding a baby, walking with a toddler unsteady on his or her feet, and walking with a "big kid", who's hand barley fits across your palm.
17) Staring at God's painted skies, watching lightning storms from afar, listening to the rain hit the ground.
18) Making a kitten purr. Or a puppy's tail wag.

All of these things and more....so many more.

They make me smile, they make me feel cherished, and they are just polite and simple.
