Uplifting…….

The Wonder Bra…

A pay raise…

The wag of a tail - the wanton, curious look into your eyes - looking, waiting so earnestly for your next move… your vote of approval…

A corset…

Seeing good happen to someone so deserving.

Viagra…

The home team rallying, people on their feet cheering…

Having a friend so deserving move into a new occupational role that will allow them to use their talents - and at a much higher level of pay, reward.

Garter belts…

Sunrises.. Full moons.. Rainbows.. Trees blowing sideways whilst you’re tucked neatly inside…

A car starting when the key is turned.. The furnace coming on when the thermostat is upped… The closest non-handicapped spot at the Piggly Wiggly on BIG shopping day….

No waiting on register 4...

Ladders…

A couple, across the distance.. Leering into each other’s eyes.. Their touch, their smiles. Recognition of the fact it does/can work…

Hearing “you look nice today”, “you’re staying in shape”, and once even, prolly a long, long time ago “ohhhh.. A pretty boy.”

Cards, letters, emails…

Lightening of routine communication amongst co-workers, customers, vendors - with humor interspersed…

Lucking out to be following a nice derriere…

Botox, facelifts, tummy tucks, liposuction, brow lifts, breast augmentation…

The satisfied look at the reflection in the mirror after six months of continued, hard work to ‘get there’.

Family. Coworkers. Friends. Strangers who speak/smile.

Intimacy, be it a candlelit restaurant table, standing behind - arms around, a walk - hands held, or even the completion of “that”… collapse into that moment of “can I keep this moment forever and ever?”…

Escalators, stairs, elevators, airplanes, helicopters, rock climbing, rope climbing, ski lifts…

Reaching the summit.. Mass, celebrated confusion at Christmas… Coffee with a friend.. A cold beer with a friend.. An everyday lunch with a co-worker…

Handicapped parking places, doors held, “you go ahead”, a heartfelt ‘thanks” heard/said, picking up something that a stranger had dropped and handing it back to them.

Pity parties that are ended by coming to the pc to write reminders of how there’s so very much good in the world. Lemonade/lemons. Swans outta ugly ducklings. Recognition “life is good” after stupid, temporary thoughts “life ain’t so good.”

When one wakes up with bad breath, not-so-fun thoughts.. All ya gotta do is brush the choppers.. And seek out a nice, firm derriere to ogle at! Oh butt life is good.

Love, Victurd.
