What Moves You?

[Laurajean]

Watching unlikely animal buddies play & cuddle.

Looking up at a dark starry night and feeling so little and realizing I haven't looked up in a while.

When the chipmunks who live in my rock wall outside come and eat out of my hand.

A beautiful scenery of any kind, a good old-fashioned gospel song, an inspiritional story like the ones in Chicken Soup for the Soul, knowing God loves me...even me.

I've not always been a good child, if ya know what I mean?

Now I'm trying more but still don't deserve the Grace imparted to me. Does anyone?

a little random, but this moved me today... yes i was moved over a yoshinoya combo bowl... especially since they changed the bowls and the portion of the food... i understand us california people are fat, but why the bowls...?

here's my moment from today...

you go there and stand at the counter looking up... you're starving, and willing to pay almost 8 bucks for a huge meal with veggies, rice, beef, chicken and a clam chowder... you sit down with your large drink, and wait around staring at the people driving around in the drive thru... then they call up your number and you see this tiny little white styrofoam trey with little orange print... you think, man this thing is small, but it better be full to the rim... you open it up to throw a heaping amount of red ginger on top, and BAM!!!... the bowl is still a bowl... there's a huge void where the food should be... it is concave... like if there's an inch of rice missing...


okay whatever... you start eating the beef first left to right like always... then you hit the bottom of the styro tray... then you discover that the bottom tray is convex... OMGWTHisGOINGON!!!!!!!!!!!!?????... almost 8 bucks for this lie..? man... the combo bowl picture on the menu is a facade... after you finish the bowl you feel empty... like someone else just took an inch and a half of rice, 2 strips of chicken, 4 strands of beef, 2 broccoli, 1 cauliflower, and some slices of carrots right before you sat down...








i still haven't gotten over it... the void of missing food gets replaced by a single tear on my cheek... my memories of the old style yoshinoya combo bowls are nostalgic wonderments of my past... i will never have that feeling of coming home after a long trip or vacation when i see the little orange logo of a bowl with the word "yoshinoya" in between the lid and the bowl itself...







































i need a moment...

My 8yo ds holding a hen,looking down at her,and talking to her. Makes all the yucky chores of chicken keeping worth it.

Dd picking fruits and flowers we have grown.Our yard was a field of junk filled clay dirt when we moved in.

All the animals(chicken,dog,cat,rabbit) stretched out under the sun.The contentment in them for the warm,sunny day is so sweet.

Dh all full and happy after a home cooked meal.

Nothing was worse than seeing the procession for the firefighters that lost their lives last fall. Hundreds of fire trucks on a closed freeway, with all the black cars behind them. It was awful.

That too, as well as police and military funerals. Nearly kills me.

There are times when in the clear crisp clean autumn woods while cutting wood and splitting it, the sound of the wood splitting with the hand maul reverberates though the trees and I have to stop and listen.
