I like flowers. <br /><br />I like watching the clouds move and change shape in the sky.<br /><br />I like lightning bugs.<br /><br />I like stones.<br /><br />I like old trees.<br /><br />I like petting dogs.<br /><br />I like purring cats on your lap while you're reading. <br /><br />I like bird songs early in the morning when you are just waking up.<br /><br />I like thunder storms.<br /><br />I like being alone. <br /><br />I like being with people.<br /><br />I like silence.<br /><br />I like music that carries you somewhere else.<br /><br />I like laughing with my kids. <br /><br />I like crying over movies. <br /><br />You know. I needed to think on awesome things. Life's been kicking my tail lately. I need to focus my attention back on the great things, not the frustrating things.
