"Don't treat people the same, find the ones that matter more to you, and hug them."

~Quote by Seth Godin, author of the blog that thuroughly impressed me today.

• As has the book: "This Is Your Brain On Music."

• Radio: CJSF, RadioLab & SomaFM

...this is ridiculous but for my own sense of satisfaction I'm making a tally of all the things that have delighted and soothed the tossed cradle of my existence recently...

• epsom salt
• eating pudding and reading in the bath
  
• baking cookies out of muffin mixture
• letters to strangers
• laughing to the point of tears about shaved eyebrows
• profound letters from sisters
• light saber wielding squirrels....wtf?....yeah you read that right, look it up.
  
• the smile of the person I gave a toonie to
• telepathic friends in far away places who write to me when I think about how much I love them.
• getting older... grateful and delighted to be aging...hopefully gracefully. I'm enjoying the confidence and the solidity that is coming with age.
• the dish washer
• the janitor and his red shoes
• the mail man patiently doling mail to all those who wait impatiently...he handled it like a hero this morning...I could have kissed him.
• to the lovely total stranger who hugged me and helped me find sweet smelling things.
• the character sleeping in the other room, who has no idea just what a wonderful friend he really is.
• ryan for being one of those dad's who is riding the chemical, emotional waves of fatherhood.
• bird wings...and flight training school...
