The Best of What's Around

I am heeding the advice of one Matt Chandler and am going to name things that inspire my soul:

-Smoking my pipe on the porch, sometimes with a nice glass of Pinot or an import beer of choice.
-Listening to good music including Dave Matthews Band, Counting Crows (they have a new CD out in January), Jack Johnson, Jimmy Eat World, Fall Out Boy.
-Game nights with my friends.
-Chai Eggnog Latte from Starbucks(seasonal inspiration).
-Waking up to Shorty laying on the bed, and then sometimes waking up to him licking my face.

Now, to be fair I will list things that rob me of joy:

-When I opt to do anything else instead of meditate in Him (X-box, sleep, watch TV).
-When I drink too much (which thank God, hasn't been for a long time now)
-When I let people affect how I feel

These are just to name a few that I could think of right now. I will leave you with a new tune from the Counting Crows entitled, "Cowboy." Enjoy
