• Walking into Starbucks on a Friday morning to find they still have a piece of Lemon Loaf left for you.
• Having a friend whom you have not spoken with for a long time, give you a phone call out of the blue. Even though the conversation only lasts for a few minutes, it’s the warm fuzzy you feel inside when you hear their voice.
• Feeling their elation when your child tells you about something thrilling that happened to them at school.
• Unending laughter when you are together as a family at the dinner table, over something rather random and corny, but still seems to strike a chord with at least 2 people at the table. You know…the kind that causes near hyperventilation and makes your eyes water?
• Knowing that your 16 year old thinks it’s cool to walk into Target on a Thursday night with both her and her mom wearing pink baseball hats.
• Enjoying family time at Disney World for days on end while being completely unplugged from the world…and not caring how many Emails, Texts, Tweets or Facebook messages you have missed.
• When your heart is hurting and a friend simply says, “I care about you.”
• Getting a snail mail Christmas card with a picture instead of just a card.
• The smell of freshly made popcorn…with extra butter.
• Having your spouse create a memorable tradition by preparing a lobster dinner at home for you on Valentine’s Day because it’s your Birthday…and watching the kids eat hot dogs.
• Being able to receive words of affirmation and appreciation from people because your writings have touched them in a special way.
Realizing that 75% of my list happened within 48 hours prior to writing about it, reminds me that happiness abounds all around. What are some simple things in life that make you smile? We’d love to hear them!
