Post 91: Inspirational Speeches

I don't mean the kind of speech that puts you to sleep feeling fuzzy at night.
I mean the kind of speech that makes you want to take a stand for something you believe in.

The kind of speech that speaks not only to your mind, but to your heart.

The ones that resonate somewhere deep inside you and take root in your soul and refuse to not be heard.

Post 90: Friends in far-off places

When they come back in town, it gives you a reason to blow normal schedules out of the water and do something different for a bit.
They're friends, which are good things.
And.. yes.

Post 89: Chicken Noodle Soup

I think most people have a Chicken Noodle Soup memory.
A Chicken Noodle Soup memory is one in which you were sick. Probably as a child.
And your dear, loving mother brought you hot chicken noodle soup.
And you had it.
And you felt like you were drinking the love of your mother who made soup for you because you were sick.

It's a really great kind of memory to have.
Sometimes I forget to remember my memories like that.

Post 88: Disposable cameras

A story from my life:

Once, I went to Kansas on a school trip.
I know, I know, it doesn't sound all that great. But it was. Before this trip, I bought a small plastic thing known as a "disposable camera."
I took many a picture with that device.
And then, one day, it disappeared.
I never got to see all those pictures I took.
And I haven't bought another cheap, disposable camera since.

But I'm still grateful for the novelty and wonder they bring in to the lives of the people around me.

Post 87: The Waltz

It's such an amazing dance.
Easy to get the basics, hard to get great at. It's a very rewarding challenge.
I love it.

Post 86: Speed Dial

Sometimes it's the really little things that we forget about.
With speed dial, we save an entire second and a half (at most) of time wasted dialing the number of a good friend or acquaintance.

Post 85: Colors

There's a story behind this post. It involves colored powder being thrown everywhere.
Including my eyes and mouth.

It involves a feeling of happiness and joy pervading the air about me.

And it's great.
