while you're falling apart

minxyReally, really good things that happened this past week:
1. the Boy. I think I could be in serious danger of falling in love with him.
2. Rob Thomas and his need for writing songs containing the lyrics "Just let me hold you/while you're falling apart", and on a similar note, Coldplay's recent theme of fixing whatever is wrong in your soul is also speaking to me.
3. Icons (see the pretty from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
paian? Thank you, paian), stories, e-cards, general loveliness from online friends. You do realize that I love you, right? And I am so grateful for your presence and your stories and your witness in general to the importance of letting things touch you and recognising how vibrant life still is.
4. M*A*S*H*, and Saving Private Ryan, for nice perspective. Perspective is an interesting thing, isn't it? Makes you wonder how people get through wars. The idea of a soldier-doctor is a really interesting paradox. How the hell do you do that? A good reason to continue to work for peace, IMO, as death alone is heartbreaking to me; I don't know if I could survive watching so many die needlessly and young and return even a shadow of the person I am now. And that's if I were perfectly whole and safe the entire time.
5. Good friends, good movies and really good spicy margaritas. I may need that recipe. Definitely love that friend.
6. Pets,jenlevs stories of her beautiful horse that reminds me of my floppy marvelous dingbat puppies. And unconditional love. And fics where people live happily ever after, or at least until they tumble into bed a few more times. And satirific fics that combine both puppies and people falling into bed and I have proof that Sid was mostly kidding, and OH, she made me laugh.
7. Dancing. See also #1 (above).
8. Betaing. Because I get to read fics and people actually want my opinion on stuff. It's almost as satisfying as writing, but much less work. Shout out tobeckymoster. Thanks for letting me beta your stuff. Makes me happy.
And all of you, thanks. Hugs, cuddles and love available as you prefer.
