http://1000awesomethings.com/the-top-1000/I had heard about the list and thought cool idea. Then my brother emailed me a link to one of the items he read and immediately thought of me about. I checked it out and laughed. Then I read on. It is addictive and I started chortling and laughing, then howling. All alone, by myself. Laughing. Love laughing aloud.
What struck me is that we all think we are so unique, and yet truly we are all so much the same taking pleasure from the same darn things. The little things. The crawling back into a warm bed after getting up to pee in the night (LOL!), the super dangerous playgrounds of our youth (we are all still here are we not?!), fresh line dried sheets..... I thought I could come up with a list of **10**
1. Feel of holding someones hand that fits just right in yours with no effort
2. Explaining something and having someone laugh with you part way through just getting it
3. The feeling of swimming in a lake with the smooth water sliding against your body
4. Reading a really good book and when you finish it you sigh and feel complete for a moment.
5. Laughing really really hard and long and being totally in the moment.
6. The feel of a cool toilet seat or bathroom floor when you are nauseated!!
7. Being hungry, not really knowing for what, choosing something and when you take that first bite and it is just perfect....
8. The little things people do that tell you they really understand you and when they do it or say it you feel so good and understood, or appreciated or 'seen'
9. Driving and having the perfect song for the moment on and the wind blowing and sun shining....
10. Dog greeting me when I come home and he is so damn happy to see me he is wiggling and snorting and being all ridiculous and you cannot help but laugh and smile!
So many little things! Peeing when you have been waiting for ages to go..... to gliding down a hill on a bike (sans helmet of course) and feeling the wind blow through your hair.... smell of my Dad's jacket when I was a kid that was part wool, part cigarette smoke, part cedar closet, part cologne.... smell of my daughter's clean sun warmed hair....
Smiling... are you?
