i climbed on the top of a volcanoe yesterday!
Wow! I hope you took pictures Munachi - and will post them too. It must have been thrilling.
 
WFMS...

* Emotions - each and every wonderful, crazy, fun, sad and dang one of them. Especially when they all threaten at once.

* Love and frienship.

* The people that share their hearts, here and everywhere.

i did take almost a film full of pictures, but it might take a while until i get them develop... it was great indeed, especially since i got my private guide for most of the trip (the other poor guy who was in the group with me had to turn around half way up due to cramps, fortunately we could send him down with another group else i'd have to go back down as well)... and of course seeing the crater (unfortunately i couldn't see lava though as the volcano has been quite quiet lately)... but lots and lots of snow and my legs still hurt today...
 
Wfms???

Very profound indeed.

1. That little pause at the top of the schoolbus stairs for my 4yr old and his rush back to give me a hug and an "I love you Dad!"

2. Being in the MOST loving relationship I have ever had the good fortune to be with.

3. Snuggling with her at night and feeling our unborn child kick.

4. Getting a hug from my 6yr old step-daughter who "Doesn't do hugs"

5. Helping others. Ever since I can remember, my friends have come to me with their problems, woe and sorrows, as well as dreams. Strangers as well. I love to give the right piece of advice at precisely the right time.

6. Creating. Whether I write a new story Sorry, not on Lit yet, or create a new web page. Seeing it develop a life of it's own is always a thing of wonder to me.

7. So many of the things that we, as adults either take for granted or just forget to look at.

Just to name a few,
Batman :)
 
It's cool to see how deep so many people are. In public, you sometimes generalize people and put them to the side. In reality everyone has an interesting story once you get to know them.

For me, number one is being challenged. I can't stand the idea of being a sloth, since it is like being dead. So anything at all that brings me out of my comfort zone.

Interesting conversations also. Just a reminder to let you know there is so much you still don't know.

What inspires you, makes you who you are at the deepest essence of your being?

What can you absolutely not live without? What do you have to have to sustain your inner self, just as urgently as a physical body needs water to survive?

So...I'm curious, as always.

What feeds your soul?

S.

Being able of loving myself. Without that...
 
Its been awhile since Ive posted here, somewhere between my last time here and now I closed up. originally came on here tonight to find a quote someone has as their signature but started to read the posts and began to remember some of the beauty in the world, because its been awhile since ive seen/recognized any of it.

So aside from this, what fed my soul today was a hug from a friend at work that I didnt know I needed til afterwards, only because it reminded me of how it feels.

Ive watched friends abandon me, girlfriends say they love me as they walk out the door, and worse, so today I want to thank you guys for sharing your stories with the world, cause every now and then, someone needs to hear your story.
 
-The comfort and emotion conveyed by big, warm hands.

-The absolutely perfect fit of our bodies.

-The sheer pleasure of icy feet slipping into a deliciously heated bed.

-Working together to find solutions instead of creating problems.
 
the hope that down the road i will find another person who I will be able to open up to, because i have met the first and been destroyed.

- leaving work just before 6 pm tonight :nana:
- having dinner at my Dad's
- good company and yummy food
- looking at my Aunt's family pictures with my Dad and his wife on what would have been my Aunt's birthday
-having the pictures trigger fond memories of past events
-having two framed pictures (of my Dad's Mom and Dad) returned to me....I gave them to my Dad; who for some unknown reason, when my Mom died, gave them to his sister; and on her death, my Dad returned the pics to me

-what will feed my soul tomorrow is sleeping in until I wake up naturally

Hearing other people's stories feeds my soul as well. There is something to identify with in almost every one and that's connective and valuable to me and feeds my soul the way a warm meal feeds my body.
 
seeing my dad again after six months - and my mom i will see this weekend. and finally, for the first time ever, see my baby brother and hold him in my arms.
 
My eight year old in tears emptying his money box out to give to the kids he saw going through the garbage on tv. :heart:
 
The arrival of a long overdue apology. It doesn't make it right, nor does it make it better, but there's a nice sense of closure.
 
soft ... gentle rain falling.
Splashing in mud puddles,
rain dripping on my tongue ...
Yes, that would be great
right about now ..

:rose:
 
Finally standing up for me and putting myself first. I'm scared to death and I feel like I have to throw up, but it's long overdue. I'm going to take a big step toward a healthy mental outlook.

"What feeds your soul?"

It made me wonder. What do you need to sustain that most intimate part of you, the part only the closest people see...or maybe even the part that no one else ever sees. What inspires you, makes you who you are at the deepest essence of your being?

What can you absolutely not live without? What do you have to have to sustain your inner self, just as urgently as a physical body needs water to survive?

So...I'm curious, as always.

What feeds your soul?

When one of my students "gets it", when my husband looks at me with love, when I am curled up with a good book, when i open my eyes to see I am blessed with another chance do good and do better. These are the things that feed my soul. :rolleyes:
