I had this on another thread but i thought it deserved one of it's own!

which ones are you favorites? feel free to add others if you think of them!:-6



Falling in love. Laughing so hard your face hurts. A hot shower. No lines at the Super Walmart. A special glance. Getting mail. Taking a drive on a pretty road. Hearing your favorite song on the radio. Lying in bed listening to the rain outside. Hot towels out of the dryer. Walking out of your last final. Finding the sweater you want is on sale for half price. Chocolate milkshake. A long distance phone call. Getting invited to a dance. A bubble bath. Giggling. A good conversation. A care package. The beach. Finding a $20 bill in your coat from last winter. Laughing at yourself. Midnight phone calls that last for hours. Running through sprinklers. Laughing for absolutely no reason at all. Having someone tell you that you're beautiful. Laughing at an inside joke. Friends. Falling in love for the first time. Slumber parties. Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you. Waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep. Your first kiss. Being part of a team. Making new friends or spending time with old ones. Playing with a new puppy. Late night talks with your roommate that keep you from sleeping. Having someone play with your hair. Sweet dreams. Hot chocolate. Road trips with friends. Swinging on swings. Watching a good movie cuddled up on a couch with someone you love. Wrapping presents under the Christmas tree while eating cookies and drinking eggnog. Song lyrics printed inside your new CD so you can sing along without feeling stupid. Going to a really good concert. Getting butterflies in your stomach every time you see that one person. Making eye contact with a cute stranger. Winning a really competitive game. Making chocolate chip cookies! Having your friends send you homemade cookies! Spending time with close friends! Running through the fountains with your friends. Riding a bike downhill. The feeling after running a few miles-an accomplishment! The feeling you get the first time you step on stage. Seeing smiles and hearing laughter from your friends...Holding hands with someone you care about. Wearing your boyfriend's shirt that still smells like his cologne. Running into an old friend and realizing that some things (good or bad) never change. Discovering that love is unconditional and stronger than time. Riding the best roller coasters over and over. Hugging the person you love. Watching the expression someone's face as they open a much-desired present from you. Kisses on your forehead from the first and only boy you have ever loved. Watching the sunrise. Getting out of bed every morning and thanking God for another beautiful day

Falling in love.

Chocolate milkshake.

Laughing for absolutely no reason at all.

Having someone tell you that you're beautiful.

Watching a good movie cuddled up on a couch with someone you love.

Wrapping presents under the Christmas tree while eating cookies and drinking eggnog.

Discovering that love is unconditional and stronger than time.

Falling in love is a pretty strong natural high I have to admit.

Another one is when you finally understand something complicated, when it becomes clear, the penny dropping, learning something new.

Achieving some personal goal, which is a short lived one, but its good.

Seeing an old friend after a long absence.

Anticipating what will happen with a new lover.

Those days when everything seems right with the world, children are laughing, the sun is shining, and it seems like nothing bad could ever happen again.

When your team win, and win big, that winning goal at the last minute, thats cool.

Knowing that whatever has been, or will be, is only what is meant to be, for better or worse.

If more people would take the time and appreciate all the simple pleasures of life, maybe we would have less drug use.

These days, just waking up in no worse shape than when I went to bed gives me hope at least.

When I was younger, being in isolated, uninhabited places and knowing no one knew where I was or could reach me gave me a huge thrill. Don't know why.

Oh that's so great!

and i want to give Jacob every opportunity to become the best he can be, because he's my miracle anyway, and for him to be given to me now after all this time and thinking i couldn't have children at all, he must be destined for something great!

A good cup of coffee

Someone smiling at me

My sister calling or texting me to say hi and tell me she loves me

Soaking in a hot bubble bath

A hug from someone I haven't seen in a while

A letter or email from a friend
