ten things that feel good.

1. that moment when you get your sense of place and reality back after waking up from a nightmare.
2. scratching a mosquito bite.
3. being comfortable enough with your body to let your lover touch every part of it.
4. sunlight on your toes the first day it's warm enough to wear sandals.
5. playing hooky from work and spending the day sitting under trees in the park.
6. knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt when a decision you've made is the right one.
7. thoughtful compliments, such as being told that when you blink, it looks like butterflies.
8. realizing that when you promised to take care of each other, you both meant it.
9. hearing a song that's so good that your body moves in time with the music--and it takes you until the last verse to notice that this is happening.
10. having people who love you enough to pick you up off the floor (physically and metaphorically) when you really need it.
