I steal from the Bright Yellow Balloon the idea for today’s post. This is a list of random things that make me happy.
- Softened, room temperature butter which is easy to spread on untoasted bread
- Lizard Moneybags or AKA a lizard showing his red neck thingy. If you don’t live in the subtropics you’ll have no idea what I am talking about.
- hotel ice cubes
- the smell of freshly turned soil
- sun showers
- walking in rain puddles
- static electricity in my hair when I brush it
- a dog’s wagging tail
- driving a two lane country road
- swinging – like at a playground not with other kinky adults
- licking the beaters after mixing cake batter
- receiving a REAL letter or card in the mail, with a real stamp
- presents wrapped in paper and not stuffed in gift bags
- men’s dress shoes….it is a bit of a fetish
- sweating
- scented lotion that matches my perfume
- freshly sharpened pencils
- clothesline dried sheets or blue jeans
- Diet Coke in a can, ice cold but poured over ice into a small glass
- dark chocolate and only dark chocolate
- finishing a To Do list
- clouds
- crocus – a flower I cannot grow in Florida
- Monkey grass also known as mondo grass
- movies at the cinema with a box of Sno-caps
- reading a map in a new city while walking around
- museum gift shops
- escalators or those people movers in airports, even better
- cracking the spine on a new, hardback book
- trusting Genius on iTunes and their suggestion being perfect
I like this little exercise. Thinking about even the smallest thing that makes me happy……makes me happier.
