What moves you?
I was thinking about this topic when I was driving home tonight. What moves you? Sure..a lot of us post what grinds our gears or makes us smile, frown, proud, and feel slanty. But what moves you? What, at the end of the day, touches your core and refreshes you?
Is there an object? A quote? An action? A song? A memory? What moves you to have that moment of inner peace..where things are aligned? Obviously, these things can change based on where you are that day or time in your life. I'll start.
Two things for today:
1) I listened to Barber's "Adagio for Strings" again tonight. Each time I listen to it, it just reaches me and will sometimes move me to tears. It just helps me sigh and realize it's okay.
2) I've posted my anger with my dad here in the forums. Tonight he called me and we talked. He's moved to another state and to another company because he wanted to change his direction and outlook on life. It's hard to fully describe. But, for once, my dad said "yes" to life and chose to go for it.
As I thought about this topic and the news of my dad challenging himself to get out of his rut, it moved me. My dad sounded so happy on the phone. He's scared it won't work but he's ready for the challenges. At this moment in time, I'm actually proud of my dad.
I made it to the Pacific coast!!! I may spend more of my freetime here. :D
Hey, where is that? I live two blocks away from the Pacific Coast in Oregon, but I acknowledge the truth that the Pacific Coast spans a great amount of territory.

Sadly, I'm in Ohio now to recharge, save some more money and to finish some schooling. But for the past 6 months I lived in Portland, visited Seaside quite a bit and spent one weekend in Newport. You near that area?

In Seaside! Did you go to Sam's Cafe at all? Most vegan entrees on their menu was because of me and my incessant whining. The owners are great people.

Nope. Sadly, I never went there. It certainly was difficult to find anything to eat in that area. Everything was seafood. But wait. You live in Seaside?!

My BFF has been my BFF for going on 12 years. We had started to drift apart since she and her husband became an item (we cordially dislike each other). She looked me up today and kidnapped me. We committed cake, and then fresh orange juice so we could feel virtuous.
I can tell she has missed me, and that she doesn't want to lose touch. Really.
That moves me.
She looked me up today and kidnapped me.
I love kidnapping and being kidnapped. Your friend has inspired me to embark on some kidnapping expeditions of my own! Won't my friends be surprised!

Yes. On 4th Ave.
If you (or anyone else for that matter) embark on another journey to this part of the coast, shoot me a message and I'll tell you the best (and worst!) places to find vegan food in town. Actually, there's probably another thread on which I should be posting this.......
I admit it. This video made me cry.

When that movie came out, they played it on the radio for about every three songs for a year. Memories.
I think I've heard the song before but the lyrics hit me hard today.
I've been meaning to try that..

I loved that! Pollination is so awesome. I took a grad class in college just on pollination biology because it's so cool.

A whole class just on pollination biology?!! Sign me up! :) I miss grad school. I miss school, period. I'd be a professional student and just collect science and philosophy degrees if I was independently wealthy.
