You seem to have found your "happy place" today!

I try to find mine every day, sometimes I wake up in it and other times I can't seem to find it.

Puppies help! My puppy teaches me every day to stop and smell the roses or, in her case, whatever's on the ground.

Other times life brings me treats, like this morning.

Chatting on the phone with my dear friend Barbara I was watching the waves and there was a dolphin, and then two.

I watched while we talked and then saw the pair's bodies through the water, inside a tall wave that was breaking, their entire bodies!

Like this, except just two of them:

I was born Christian. If that makes Rupert Murdoch my responsibility, I'll auto-excommunicate. [View all] NYC_SKP Jan 2015 OP

Heard that today on one of my Sirius Progressive channel shows, forget which one randys1 Jan 2015 #1

Well done. I would hope that Aziz would never, ever need Murdoch. cbayer Jan 2015 #3

Yes! I love Aziz on Parks and Rec. Here's a Salon story about him and JK Rowling: NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #4

Have you ever seen his standup? cbayer Jan 2015 #6

Not yet... NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #7

Be prepared to die laughing. cbayer Jan 2015 #8

Screw Murdoch. cbayer Jan 2015 #2

Murdoch and others who hide the truth have much to gain from all of this. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #5

How is someone born Christian? braddy Jan 2015 #9

I think she meant infant baptized and raised Christian. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #10

It's easy nichomachus Jan 2015 #11

Yep, religious privilege at work... MellowDem Jan 2015 #13

Anybody can choose to become a Christian, but you cannot be born one. braddy Jan 2015 #14

I agree... MellowDem Jan 2015 #27

I don't know what "the privilege of religion" means, or what it meant in regards to your post. braddy Jan 2015 #31

It means religion gets advantages and special rights... MellowDem Jan 2015 #32

I still don't get how that relates to someone not being able to be born a Christian? braddy Jan 2015 #33

It relates to the phrase... MellowDem Jan 2015 #34

One is "born human" JDDavis Jan 2015 #12

If the woman feels she was born a christian, who is anyone to say that she is wrong. cbayer Jan 2015 #17

More honest tweet: "I was born atheist but indoctrinated into Christianity by my parents..." cleanhippie Jan 2015 #15

Jealous? Can't indoctrinate? NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #16

Awww, how cute. Bless your heart. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #18

Ya gotta love the term "auto-excommunicate"! NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #19

Oh, that's just so precious. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #23

I'm glad for you! NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #24

You wake up in it? cleanhippie Jan 2015 #28

I wake up in my happy place, in a good mood. Sorry for any misunderstanding. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #29

Whatever floats your boat, dude. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #30

And I was born a Dodgers fan. Iggo Jan 2015 #20
