I miss...

I thought we could use a post like this. List the things, the people, the whatevers you miss. This could be as simple as saying "I miss my TV show..." or "I miss him/her/it..." I'll start.

I miss traveling. Last year I took two trips and I loved it. I loved going to the different airports, riding on the planes, and arriving at my destination. I always loved airports and their energy...even though last year I had to sleep on the concrete floor. Haha! So yeah, I miss traveling.

^ I miss how when I did non-profit, people thought I fought the good fight, but now that I work my ass for in gov'ment service doing the same thing but being deliriously more effective, people think I sit around and do nothing all day except cash my exorbitantly large paychecks and plan on how to spend my flush retirement income - just because I commute in a Bugatti Veyron.

I know. Bugatti Veyrons should be confined to Reasons to Smile.

This is me on my commute. ;)

... having roommates.

I like renting a house and having three other roommates the best. *sigh* Or I wish I lived somewhere more desirable so that I could rent out my second room; all I'd get here are meth addicts.

I miss Shantay Richardson. She was a girl I sat next to in junior high..I would make beats on my desk and she would rap along. It was a lot of fun. :)

The good seasons of PJ, Police Judiciaire (Paris-set version of NYPD Blue). Back when Gerard Vergez was directing and before they turned all soap-opera.

propinecone

I just came across a response of hers in a recipe review for Cookies and 'Cream' Truffles (ingredients: 1 package of Oreos, 1 bag of chocolate chips, and an 8-ounce tub of vegan cream cheese)

I am sorry to say, but I made these for the holidays a coupla years ago, and they were sooooooooo sweet and are nothing but vegan junk food.

But some may just love them, so enjoy! you are what you eat!

whoa... wait - you mean oreos + tofutti cream cheese + chocolate chips doesnt = health food?? i never wouldve seen that coming.. nutrition labels are so sneaky on those kinds of products..

man... i wish i wouldve read your helpful review before i threw away all my vegetables since i had planned on eating these instead...

i'm guessing next you're gonna say i shouldnt have suggested to my friend to puree these with some melted soy ice cream and use it as baby formula?

I miss the days when I wasn't so cynical and jaded. I mean it's nice to an extent but sheesh..I'm shutting the door on everyone that I meet.

Caroline Reed. She was my partner in crime in high school, and we sort of parted ways after but I think about her and the time we spent together all the time.

Having time for anything really, especially for treasured friends who are being neglected while I work 50 hours a week and go to school.

The ability to be happy.

The ability to let things go long enough to get relief from the physical symptoms of stress.

I miss the oceans of free time I used to swim in. But at least I swam in them, floating lazily, enjoying every stroke.
I'm spoiled. Or I was. I admit it.

A friend asked me once, "do you think some people are just incapable of being happy?" In a nutshell, I told her - you have the power to be happy inside you. You must find your center and only be concerned with the things you can control. You can't sometimes control the situation but you can control how you react to it or what you do with it. It's about balance.

I hope this helps.
