If you have not yet experienced the calming, peaceful feeling of zen from summoning a calming manatee from a website found at, surprisingly enough, calmingmanatee.com, you should totally try it out. I love this site. It’s humorous and just one click gives me a little pick-me-up. There are, also, other calming things in my life, and this post is sort of the yang (or the yin?) to my post titled 14 Irritants.

1. sleeping babies
2. lullabies
3. afternoon thunderstorms (sort of a paradox, but…yeah)
4. couches
5. blankets
6. pillows
7. purring cat
8. silence
9. shushing ocean
10. velour sweatpants
11. terrycloth robe
12. best friend’s voice
13. neck rub from husband
14. Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food
15. flannel sheets
16. books
17. The BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice
18. DID I MENTION SILENCE!!!

What do you find soothing?
