C'mon Mystro...what are some natural highs for you?

I thought of one last night...though I am not very big on camping I do remember one trip where I laid outside gazing up at the stars. It was very peaceful. I also love watchig big white puffy clouds against a striking blue sky.

Great thought provoking clips......

:) I can say I have had them all except for # 10... no space for a dryer where I live.. lol

I have to add one would be watching your newborn sleep.. sitting there waiting for them to wake up.

Looking into the eyes of your child as you feed them. That gaze... ughh...its incredible.

I cringe everytime I see people prop bottles up for babies to drink.. :(

Sand between your toes relaxing at the beach.

Rolling around in the sand with someone special.

An applause from total strangers who were admireing you rolling around with that special someome.

The feeling I got when I recieved my first paycheck...

I might add more later ;)

Michelle ~ Great additions! Though I have to say I don't like sand in certain other places...but I won't say where. I don't have any children so I can only imagine how that must look and feel like. Although, I get all warm inside when my cat comes up and cuddles with me.

Sherry - looking into the face of your child for the first time is like no other feeling. How is this one, walking out to the end of the 1,000 ft pier off the coast of Florida in the middle of a storm with the fog rolling in........
