Today I need a reminder of the positive stuff in my life. Here are a few things that make the good times so good, that the shitty moments are forgotten.
- Sunshine. It makes me smile every time. It also burns me since I have a seriously pale complexion. Oh irony.
- Swimming in the ocean
- Bikes. Everything about them. I love the freedom, I love the burning legs when grinding up a hill, and the rush of 40 MPH switchbacks. I love being a bike commuter. Plus, cycling chicks are hot!
- Holidays with family. These are rare now that I live 2000 miles away. I especially appreciate the fleeting time I get to spend with my three brothers, and my niece and nephew.
- Effortless friendships. I have friends from childhood, college, my time in Chicago and of course here in SD which I treasure immensely. Even when distance and laziness have caused us to lose touch, good friends reconnect without awkwardness or drama. I miss you all - give me a call
- Independence. I moved away from home at 18, got my own place at 22. Loved that feeling. I made my last car payment, and grinned ear-to-ear. I delight in expressing my free will.
Why six things? That's just the way it works. I guess banana ice cream will have to wait for next time.

It is good to reflect on the good things and the things you are thankful for in life when life is being a royal pain. I totally hear ya on the love of sunshine but that whole...pale issue. My constant dilemma too.
