haha I think wed bete rmove on, for Rwandrall's sake. He's had too many topics derailed completely already. Life is awesome, and there is so much to explore that it is mind blowing and incomprehensibleto grasp it all.
Personally, I likethe winter-time for those moments where everything is quiet, blanketed in snow, and all you can hear is your feet crunching against the snow. I like summer-time moments where the sun is shining, the wind is blowing, and you can hear every thing coming to life again from the long winter.

But what about the Spring? If I had to choose a favourite season then it would be the Spring. Its amazing to see the trees turning green again, the crocuses and daffodils pushing through the chilly ground to open their flowers, the birds returning from the South. The chorus of frogs in the pond, the bluebells carpeting the woods, the first bees pollinating the first flowers. Thats Spring.

Yeah, the Spring is a beautiful season, too. I'm actually quite fond of the showers of rain and thunder that begin during that time period; it's strikingly wonderful, to me.
the Fall, too, is gorgeous...just about any season has it's up sides, really! I like the Fall because of how peaceful and resting every thing seems to be, when the trees are hibernating and the animals are leaving to go to warmer climates. It always gives me a sense of movement. Plus, I met my girlfriend in October, the epitome of the Fall. :3

Thanks Watson, it's true that most of my threads end up in a Frodo/Watson/tackattack VS The_Flying_Sceptic/Paul the Human/Minimalist mortal combats
Back on topic
I used to live in Hong Kong, the summer is monsoon season, which is literally awe-inspiring. It is both frightening with torrents of rain that make you drenched in half a minute, storms, rocks falling on the road and mud torrents, BUT it is also the time when the small streams going down the mountains become giant waterfalls, giant rainbows become a daily occurrence, and that is just wonderful to see.
Also because i lived in this part of Asia all my life, i never had a snowy Christmas, i had my first one this year in university and i was almost weeping with pure childish amazement when i looked out the window and saw the snow falling down...
Also, to me small waterfalls is one of the most beautiful things in the worlds. Calm and strength, beauty, eternity, life, and this calming sound, while still being rare and remote enough that you never get bored with seeing one.

Yes, life is great, for me at least.
I have a woman who loves me.
A job I (for the most part) enjoy.
Friends and family who are glad to see me.
And sufficent disposable income to do the things I want.
No, it's not perfect,whatever is?
But I'm in a good place.

Here here. I especially dig the first one, Zen. That's the most important one for me, at least at the moment.

Yes Rwrandrall...
Too many people do NOT take time out just to sit and be quiet with themselves and take stock of just what is around them.
No hippy dippy shit, just to take time out and look around and like you have done come to the conclusion that there really is nothing to worry about.
I my self have a great time and all that I need...
Mind you there is a helluva lot that I want that would move me forward but yeah...
I understand where you are coming from. It's great being a big kid!!

Rwandrall....
Back on topic to what you were stating...
Yes, I have sat back on my patio with a glass of Brandy in one hand and a Cigarette in the other, just looking up at the night sky during Fall & spring weather....Truly Blissful and humbling all in one.....(Back in the day, I believe that Brandy and Cig was replaced with a joint,...lol.. Same outcome of course... )
Thinking nothing more than how good I felt at the time and all the "What If's" of life.
Intelligence is the only true moral guide...
