Lightbulb Natural Highs!

Natural Highs!

Falling in love.

Laughing so hard your face hurts.

A hot shower.

No lines at Wal-Mart.

A special glance, or better yet...a smile!

Getting 'real' mail.

Taking a drive on a pretty country road.

Hearing your favorite song on the radio.

Lying in bed listening to the rain outside.

Hot towels out of the dryer.

Finding the sweater you want is on sale for half price.

Chocolate milkshake. (or vanilla, or strawberry!)

A long distance phone call from a friend.

A bubble bath.

Giggling.

A good conversation.

The beach.

Finding a $20 bill in your coat from last winter.

The first snowfall.

Midnight phone calls that last for hours.

Running through the sprinkler.

Laughing for absolutely no reason at all.

Having someone tell you that you're beautiful.

Laughing at an inside joke.

Friends.

Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you.

Waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep.

Your first kiss.

Making new friends or spending time with old ones.

Playing with a new puppy.

A back massage.

Sweet dreams.

Hot chocolate.

Road trips with friends.

Spending time in prayer.

Wrapping presents under the Christmas tree while eating cookies and drinking eggnog.

Song lyrics printed inside your new CD so you can sing along without feeling stupid.

Going to a really good concert.

Making a baby smile.

Winning a really competitive game.

Making chocolate chip cookies. (and eating them too!)

Seeing a rainbow.

Spending time with close friends.

Reading a good book.

Seeing smiles and hearing laughter from your friends.

Holding hands with someone you care about.

Riding the best roller coasters over and over.

Watching the expression on someone's face as they open a present from you.

Watching the sunrise.

Getting out of bed every morning and thanking God for another beautiful day!

having your teenage son call and ask to go camping all weekend with you

discovering you still have your snap roll in the middle of class 3 water

playing music with three friends and hittin that perfect vibe

having an ex sponsee call two years and a thousand miles later to tell you he has over a year clean.

being able to give money away

turning the motor off and coasting to a stop at the top of Independence so i can whisper hi to an old black bear

reading Rumi

being able to give back to an old sponsor

piling on to the floor and offering to play Barbie w/ my little neices [and hearing them giggle and giggle!]

hiking to a high place listening to the wind, listening to a redtail

skipping 'neath a full moon

pickin up the phone and hearing your teenager ask: "dad, has anybody told you they love you today? I do"

Knowing that if I stay sober, all of them things Mack just described, and more, are mine for the asking.
That's a powerful buzz my friend.
