Last night Jim asked for salmon patties. I remember how the boys asked for those alot, at least Tim and Seth. My mother made them all the time and I loved them and I think Jim remembers that, too, from his mom's cooking. So I think salmon patties qualify for a natural high.
Jim found this poster at a school and it lists some terribly awesome ways to get high - naturally. I think I will get started this afternoon. . . after I eat a salmon patty.
NATURAL HIGHS
Falling in love. Laughing so hard your face hurts. Watching a child do something for the first time after you taught them. Getting mail. Working a successful project with a good friend. Going out to eat with friends. Being in love. A bubble bath. Lying in bed and listening to the rain outside. Finding out that the sweater you want is on sale for half-price. Feeling when the fish takes the bait and is off and running. Holding someone you love in front of the fireplace. Hearing a song that reminds you of someone you love. White water rafting. Seeing someone you love do something outstanding. Making the winning score. Being told you did an excellent job by your peers. The first time your child says, “I love you”. Sledding down a hill during a big flake snow. A new hobby. Hitting the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. Running your best time. Hugging your Dad! Mom! When your brother or sister says they love you. When your dog jumps around because he’s glad to see you. When your boss says, “perfect”. Finishing a good book. Pay day. Having flowers sent to you. A clear day at the beach. An unexpected present. A surprise visit from a friend. Meditation. Seeing a falling star. A beautiful sunset. Hitting the lottery. Finding a nest of baby bunnies. Solving a problem. A hot air balloon ride. Eating pizza. Your favorite meal. A job well done. A long-distance call from a friend. A hug. A spider web with dew on it in the early morning sun. reading under an electric blanket on a cold, rainy day. A long, hot shower. Making somebody laugh. Walking on the beach. Decorating a Christmas tree. Loving yourself. Music. International travel. Intimacy. A great idea. Plunging your hot body into a cool pool. Singing. The quiet after a snowfall. A letter from a friend. Dancing. Breakfast in bed. Candlelit dinner with the one you love. Hearing someone say, “I love you”. Holding hands. Clean hair. The first spring flower. Snuggling the soft skin of a baby. Having a wish come true.
