A shy smile from a pretty girl...makes you feel like you can swing through the trees.
No wonder men do so many stupid things for women.
That's a good list!
Hello Greeny...I love the list, especially #44.
#35 would be eating chocolate chip cookies!
Greeny, you rock like a chair!
Hey--you already do yoga! Breathing, feeling, pondering, writing, that's yoga too. The next time someone says you're wasting time, just tell them you're doing yoga LOL! Number 45 :)
