Hard times

I found this quote today at Way Cool Quotes:

"What was hard to endure can be sweet to recall."
~Occidental Proverb

And I was wondering, is this true for you?
Can you remember something that was difficult to endure but sweet when you remember it?

A happy 4th

What is your favorite memory of a fourth of July celebration?

Extreme passions

Do you have an extreme passion in which you frequently overindulge?

Favorite things

What is your favorite thing to do outside? And what is stopping you from being outside right now doing it?

What would happen?

What do you think would happen if you changed your "pain" stories into "pleasure" stories, and your "trauma dramas" into "adventures"? What if you dropped your "baggage" off somewhere and never went back to pick it up? What would happen if the things you said about yourself were always good? Who would you be then?
