1. Cuddling
2. Window seat on the commuter rail
3. Whenever someone else folds laundry/puts away dishes/grocery shops
4. The sun and ocean (preferrably together)
5. Daily greetings from my dog after work
6. Goodnight kiss

forgetting a dollar (or $5 or $20) in a pocket and finding it later
when people ask me for directions

Love finding money! And that reminds me $5 bills are my favorite so they make the list too.

Visits home, which consist of laying in the bed of my dad's truck with my high school friends and a bottle of Boone's farm, gazing up at the millions of stars I can't see from my apartment in the city.
4 a.m. pancakes after a night out with friends, when the buzz is just starting to wear off and we start to feel a little groggy and a lot giggly.
Early morning city quiet, before campus begins to bustle with students and at once my university of 50,000 actually feels still and empty for a change.
A hot coffee and a fresh copy of the New York Times in the early morning city quiet.
A homemade quilt spread out over green city park grass, and me sprawled out next to my puppy with a good book in the Texas summer sunshine.
Texas summer sunshine, period.
The gritty feeling after a week at the beach and no matter how gross I feel, never wanting to wash it off because it makes me feel alive and young and happy.

The moon, coffee, candles, sleep, seeing friends, singing loud, watching basketball, films, dark chocolate

When my boyfriend calls or texts me randomly.
When I finally finish writing or drawing something.
Updates of my favorite webcomic.
When the bus comes up right as I reach the bus stop.
Driving fast with the windows down.
When my dog rests his head on my lap while I watch TV.
Doing anything on any kind of a film set.

my cats, reading a good book, the coffee from my new french press, coffee in general, when my mp3 player's shuffle is perfectly syncing to my day and mood, when i see people who are really love there jobs and their happiness and pleasantness become contagious, when strangers go out of their way to be polite and helpful to other strangers, spending time with my best friend, snuggleing with my boyfriend...i could go on and on

the rare times my son says "I love you" or gives me a kiss (he's normally a hug-only kid).
the millions of kisses/hugs/I-love-you's from my daughter a day.
a good hair day (this really never happens...).
getting to read a book uninterrupted.
figuring out the daily mensa calendar question at work before anyone else (again, rare).
getting a good deal.
almonds in my oatmeal.

When strangers are polite (actually saying thank you when I hold the door)
Random acts of kindness
The Jeep Wave (Jeep owners know what I'm talking about)


Yes for all three.

Also:
Dog kisses
Kitty cuddles
Beagle smiles
dresses
sunflowers
autumn smell and colors
campfires
reading verses in the Bible that really speak to me...

There is so much that makes me smile. It's funny that I'm on anxiety medication when there are so many things that make me happy.
Live without pretending, love without depending, listen without defending, speak without offending.
Peace, love, and laughter.
