What little things make you smile? Feel warm and fuzzy? Or just make you think about how good it is to be alive?

I like watching people.

I was walking up to the hardware store last week and a couple about mid 50s was leaving. The woman had bought something that popped up when you pressed a button. Scared the bejeezes out of the man. He jumped a foot off the ground then started laughing. He saw me watching him, our eyes met and just shone. I got to share a moment of joy with him and we never even spoke.

Babies and small children smiling and laughing. Being able to compliment someone on their smiling baby and seeing their pride.

Children laughing, that giggling sound. Actually it's good to have a bloody good giggle yourself!

I like the smell of puppies & babies :-4

I like watching paper flit through the air in the wind too.

Like the plastic bag in American Beauty.

Sitting at the coastline at slains castle looking out to sea.

The sound of a soft warm breeze................

when I see my grandchildren and they shout "Nanny !" and give me a big hug.....even little Lewis says Nanny now and puts his arms out to be cuddled.....makes me all teary...

a picnic in the mountains.

anything in the mountains

stringing colored paperclips

a smile from an elderly person

men in bow ties

Old couples.

waking up in the morning with a child snuggled up against me. :-4

watching my daughter's ferrets run around and act so goofy.....esp. rocky.he is a riot.....:wah:

I like stepping on bugs

The guy, sure.. but there is something about my daughter reaching for my hand when we are walking someplace that just does it for me. It just feels naturally good.


Yea. Little people have the market cornered on warm fuzzy stuff.

Rolling in autumn leaves. Soft light in the early evening. The scent of rain. Homecoming. Kids laughing. Smiles. Just being alive.

sitting on the porch watching a slow steady rain....

pornography :-6

Rain on a tin roof. Italian coffee. The smell of bread baking. Being alive.

The smell of fresh bread and coffee

Hearing laughter

Being indoors and watching a good storm

Brown paper packages tied up with strings

These are a few of my favorite things

The sound of a dime hitting the empty bottom of the homeless beggars cup.

(((clink))) Makes me feel like Ive really done something worthwhile.

I love snow too. Crunching the first footprints into a light dusting on the footpath (sidewalk, pavement). Catching fluffy flakes on my tongue. Whoooooshing up to my waist on skis through champagne powder, singing. Just singing. Being alive!!!!

Fresh sheets and a warm bed, knowing it'll be raining all night and I can sleep late/stay in tomorrow!

Fresh sheets, excellent choice

Fresh linen sheets, all kind of thick and crunchy and smelling of sunshine....

And don't forget babies' feet! I just LOVE babies' feet!

Yesterday when we went for my grandson's birthday he ran over and immediatly said Hi and asked to be picked up. When we were getting ready to leave, I was holding him and he said "Want to hug grandpa again". That was cool.

The smell of cut grass, lightning bugs on a summer evening and hearing children giggle.

I like the smell of petrol

So do I for about two minutes, then it starts to make you feel sick!

Tulips in December, I got some red ones for Christmas..............

Ive been disappointed in the smell of gas since they did away with leaded. They could have bottled that stuff. Mmm

i love the smell of gardenias and jasmine when they are in bloom....

Seeing my grandchildren's faces light up when they see me!

Walking into my apartment at the end of a workday and knowing that this is mine, and I don't have to leave it.

Hearing joy in my friend's voices when they tell me good things that have happened to them.

Walking in the mountains.

Having a patient tell me that I've made a difference in their life.

Seeing my daughter and son-in-law happy with each other.

I love giving my kids a clean blanket out of the dryer and watching them cuddle into it and go ahhhhhhh!!.



Love spending time with my family, playing games and just being together...

Clean linens are wonderful, especially when it's cold and rainy out, or when you just don't feel good...
