two very belated summer journaling prompts

... for sunshine_revival !

Challenge 2: Journaling: The romance of summer! What do you love? Write about anything you feel sentimental about or that gets your heart pumping.

Challenge 4: Journaling: What is making you smile these days? Create a top 10 list of anything you want to talk about.

This is not a Top 10, but it is a list of ten recent good things, in no order of rank.

1. The Rain on a Tent ambient noise generator from myNoise (even better with slider animation on!)
2. Actual rain (we finally got some)!!
3. Cold grapes straight from the fridge
4. My friend who needed surgery finally got it after days of delay!
5. Solitude by Black Sabbath. I was really surprised to learn this was a Sabbath song, it's so soft and folky.
6. About 45 minutes ago I captured and released a moth, and noticed it left behind some dust on the inside of my hand -- I anxiously googled, and found that actually, moths losing some scales is fine! Hurrah!
7. I went for a run two days ago expecting it to be murder as I don't exercise at all, but it was fine!! I may have to do it again just for that. (Muscles still screaming, though, and I work evenings all week. Maybe on Sunday!)
8. This blog on tumblr that identifies fonts!
9. Postcard from a friend arrived 💗
10. This whole bit from Jon Stewart last night, but if you don't want to watch all the serious political talk and would just like something a bit more uplifting, start from 24:54.
