Hey guys, I know that this is going to probably sound stupid, but I wanted to do it anyway, and today I kind of need it.<P>Whenever a good friend of mine or I get blue I try and think of a happy thought to help make us feel a bit better. Sometimes they are just silly little things that have popped into my head and made me smile.<P>I was wondering if today you guys could help me make a happy thought list by adding yours to mine.<P>Thanks.....<P>-My son<BR>-Waiting for the sun to shine (it has been rainy and overcast here for longer than I can remember)<BR>-my friends<BR>-a daisy<BR>-playing hookie from work<P><BR>-Java

Getting to plan my ski vacation for my son & me<P>Playing with my car<P>Sunsets<P>My friends in here<P>Thanks Java..<P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain and makes the sun come out again

Java, <P>Okay I'll bite. Here's my happy thought list:<P>I can turn up the radio in my car as loud as I want to!<P>I can resign from adulthood for a few hours.<P>Playing street football with my kids.<P>The turning Aspens.<P>Mozart.<P>Rootbeer floats. Coke floats<P>Reading a book for pleasure, not for work.<P>Candles.<P>My dog, Spuds. She always gives me lots of love when I come home.<P>You and Jayhawk and Nick and Cinderella and the rest of our goofy gang.<P>It sounds like your feeling kinda bummed out today. I know, that's an early 70's phrase that means feeling blue. Hope these happy lists give you a chin up, but if not, you know where to find us--on Jayhawk's Sex Thread (haha).<P>You're in my prayers today,<P> CJ<P>

Watching kids play without a care in the world.<P>

Realizing that strong people with good motives/goals and practice makes perfect attitudes, are worthy of admiration, and get lots of respect.<P>Watching kids grow up with no fears of trying new ideas.<P>Watching kids enjoy themselves by stretching themselves to learn.

Java,<P>Today in Colorado it is sunny and mild 60 degrees, so tomorrow I'm sending some sun your way. Hang in there one more day, okay?<P> CJ

Realizing that in 3 months, the last weekend in January, there's a MB D/D thread "convention" at the hot tub of the Holiday Inn Brentwood just outside of Nashville. And all the regulars on this board are invited. <P>Oh, yeah, and I love using the smilies on my posts.

Ok, I'll try my darndest, althought this is one of the worst days since my D day 4 months ago:<P>-Seeing a "coach" in the supermarket parking lot training a retarded man to bring the carts in.<P>-the sound of the crickets and sucadas at night.<P>-seeing my daughter this weekend.

Thanks guys!!! Sometimes it is easier to smile when you hear other people's happy thoughts.<P>c00ker- Sunsets... definatly nice! We get some pretty ones out here too!! That is when the sun can break through the clouds!<P>CJ- 70's term or not... I have used and still use the term bummed out! Along with a few others that I am sure are out of date! As for the sun... I think you sent some my way today. The clouds broke up some and there were patches of blue sky. I am unfortunatly a warm weather person. When winter comes it is time for indoor sports, not much of one for skiing or things like that.<P>blindsided123 & whenIfindthetime - watching the world through the eyes of my son is one of the best things that there can be! They truly are what makes it worth it, aren't they.<P>Cinderella- as TEMPTING as it is (and believe me, it is tempting) I know that I will be able to make it to Nashville come January. A bit too far for me to travel at this point in time. But I guarentee that I will be thinking of all of you that weekend!<P>Take care of yourselves!<P>-Java<P>OH!! one more happy thought for the list!!!!<P>being able to come here when a person is happy or sad and finding good people here who care about one another. (oh, and of course, Jayhawks sex thread!!!)

catamount82- <BR>(you posted while I was writing mine up offline) Are you doing okay??? What's going on??? We are here if you need to talk.<BR>-Java<BR><p>[This message has been edited by JavaAllNightLong (edited October 24, 2000).]
