With a hectic life, a wife of 20 some years, two stubborn teenagers, and a dick for a boss - 2 glasses of red wine, a nice fatty of White Widow, laying down at night in my backyard, looking at stars, with my iPod and headphones listening to Underworld's Oblivion With Bells album songs in THIS order - To Heal, Glam Bucket, Best Mamgu Ever... spiritual I say, simply spiritual. Trust me, try it when you are stressed out. Then I hit Velvet Underground's Sunday Morning and Voodoo Chile by Jimi. I've shed my ego during this journey. Several times. Peace.
I agree with foresting. I love when my boyfriend and I just finished having sex and since we have nothing to do, we just lay there in each other's arms for a while kissing and talking about how much we love one another.
i'm slightly manic so I usually have to be doing something or I end up feeling shitty or lazy. So one of the best feelings for me is when I have a completely productive day and can actually relax at night without feeling shitty or lazy or guilty.
The first sip of a decent coffee after stumbling out of bed still half asleep first thing in the morning.
Knowing that you have accomplished a goal that took many years of work that was very mentally stressful and sometimes painful. For example overcoming drug or alcohol addiction. Knowing that you have been sober the same amount of years that you were when you were fucked up. You have finally caught up to the date, starting a new. That goal for me will take another two years of being sober.
Being able to look back on a nice memory and just be happy it happened without getting depressed because I want to go back to that part of my life. I'm not sure how common that problem is, but it took me a while to get past it.
ok well then another feeling i used to love was the feeling after a good hockey game then a shower and a beer. those three things combined make me as content as i can be.
Waking up in the middle of the night, reaching over and cupping one of my wife's butt cheeks tell I fall asleep again
The lingering exhilaration from a good morning riding big waves with nobody but sea lions, otters and the sunrise . . .
