What Moves You?

Good music.
Hurt or suffering animals.
Astronomy.
Nature.
Non-rude people.

I met some kids who have faced enormous obstacles in life, do not live with their families at the moment--and yet they were not in the least bitter. In fact they were the sweetest group of kids ever. That made me cry.

I get emotional everytime I think about gods' goodness in my life. Every morning when I wake up and look around me and see the sun shinning or the rain falling and how the birds like to chirp and the trees and plants around me and I think about those living in the desserts who have never experienced rain or those living in winter countries who don't know how hot the weather can be! Sometimes; its so easy to blame god for the "bad weather" as we like to call it when the weather makes us uncomfortable but when I look at it from the above perspective I am so grateful for every small thing that I took for granted. That is what moves me the most!!

When I feel loved by my husband, children, dog, family, friends or beyond in a spiritual sense.

Here is a list of thoughts, actions and sentiments that move me in many different directions:
The sound of my niece's giggles. The purring of my kitty-cat. The ever "happy to see you" wagging of all the family dogs tails. Taps being played and the American Flag. Military service people coming home. A really good love story. Champagne shared amongst girlfriends. Good food. Silence. Triumph. Defeat. Compassion. Good works. Laughter. Memories, good and bad. Music.

When I am around other Women who also understand the realm of the spirit world and the new evolution of women. Then we embrace and laugh and cry and share our story and agree about the acceptance of self and others and that it is no accident we have come together. Gives me wonderful chills up and down my spine when our eyes connect.

I am moved by extreme JOY when it is a victory over what what so close to defeat or tradgedy. also . Reminicing about my mom and others I've lost.. tears flow and then I'm ok for awhile!

Ditto for me and "Imagine." Stories about people who make serious strides in the face of war, famine, hardship of any kind... human survival and compassion stories. I love movies about relationships that ring true (just saw "You Can Count on Me" which I loved). And seriously: when I watch extreme sporting events, like the Olympics or the Tour de France, the amazing feats of the athletes always bring me to tears. And, thinking about the value of my friends and what they bring to my life will often make me cry tears of joy and deep gratitude. Life is good that way.

I am always moved when my husband tells me he loves me in words and actions, when I read a good book, enjoy a good movie or hear great music.

The sincerity of a genuine, heartfelt apology moves me. It takes such strength to admit wrong-doing.
