Something that Made Me Absurdly Happy

Popped onto Yahoo! to check my email after class this morning and what should come up in one of the headline links but this: 101 Small Pleasures You Can Enjoy Every Day (http://shine.yahoo.com/event/makeover/101-small-pleasures-you-can-enjoy-every-day-1125425/)

I want to share some of my favorites (since, ya know, the one about reading your kids a bedtime story didn't really apply to me)

1. coloring

5. the first daffodils of spring

6. sleeping in

8. window boxes

12. a handwritten letter

14. singing in the shower

20. playing hookey

28. old fashioned photobooths

34. a novel you can get lost in

42. a bear hug

48. singing along to the radio and knowing all the words

53. puppies

54. root beer floats

60. spending the afternoon at a museum

63. the sound of rain hitting the windows

65. holding hands

72. slow dancing

81. a pull-through parking space

92. jumping in puddles

94. birds hopping on the sidewalk

100. having exact change

101. bacon and pancakes cooking on Saturday morning

Wouldn't that be the life? But then again, why can't it be? Wander on.
