lagilmanbeen so stressed and flail-y lately, I decided when I woke up this morning to list some things that are good and soothing.
1. the ability to think "I want to listen to this song" and being able to find it immediately, without having to sort through an entire collection of cds (the song in question this morning, btw, was "Dead Man's Rope")
2. knowing that I have Lynn Flewelling's latest book on my hard drive, just waiting to be read. *is gleefuul fangirl*
3. waking in the morning to the kittens snuggled with me, peacefully sleeping, aware that All's Well With the World because mommy's here.
4. the knowledge that my best beloveds are all safely accounted for.
5. a cup of really good coffee waiting on my desk.
What's your five?
