I was lying in bed, half-awake, thinking about a scene in a re-run of an old drama I just watched. Wanting to write it down, but not wanting to get out of bed. So I keyed it all down into my mobile. Ahh.. the wonders of technology.

What sights and smells give you a weak, touchy-achy feeling down to your toes?

For me, it's the light at dusk as the street lamps come on. The rev of a car engine in the quiet night. The subdued snoring of a loved one lying next to you. The smell of rain and the sound of rain drops on the roof. The smell of coffee from a Starbucks joint on a cold wintry day.

When I'm unhappy, I think about the sky, the rain, peace in the quiet night, and the smell of roasted coffee. It just makes the day a little bit easier to get through.
