If you have time, please respond to this threat with things that make you feel happy and content... and safe... good things in general.

I like to think about these sorts of things when I am feeling bad. I can start.

Feathery Snowflakes (that belie their complexity)
A stormy ocean
A real deep uncontrolled laugh
Soothing tears
Warm Summer Rain
Reciprocated Love
Gazing into a clear night time sky
Big yellow moon
Hearing Inspiring stories
sandy beaches
white water rafting
purity of wildlife
iced lemonade when you are parched
A caring hug
Sunsets on the water
Storms when I am snug inside
music
Thanks for this!

the song, "Hands."
seeing my friend who works at the indoor gardens
walking the dog
a kiss like you mean it
a fuzzy new sweater
a nice roommate
the PC community
a friend you've had forever
breakfast out
girls night out
my father
when the sun rises
a green leaf just starting to poke out

Watching my cat sleep when he is dreaming...it cracks me up to see him twitch and move even though he is sound asleep.

Raindrops on Roses
and Whiskers on Mittens,
Bright copper kettles,
and Warm woolen mittens,
Brown paper packages
tied up with string
These are a few of my favourite things...

Girls in white dresses
with blue satin sashes,
Snowflakes that stay
on my nose and eye lashes
Silver white winters that melt into spring
These are a few of my favourite things..

Cream coloured ponies
and crisp apple struddle,
Doorbells, and sleightbells,
and schnitzel with noodes,
Wild geese that fly
with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favourite things...
