| Little Things that Make Me Smile |
If, while you're reading this list, you think of something that makes you smile, by all means--post a comment and share it with me!
- a long, hot shower-- thick steam, pruned fingers
- the feeling at the top of the first hill of the roller coaster just as it begins to descend
- crunching leaves in the fall
- crunching ice in the winter
- the perfect snowball
- Terry Pratchett
- tasting snowflakes
- inspecting the crystall-y, geometric snowflakes that seldom fall
- the smell of my favorite lotion
- wearing a new article of clothing for the first time when the clothes still smell like the store
- wearing silly socks
- reaching that climactic point in a beautiful song and letting the moment wash over me
- conducting a recording of Hallelujah Chorus in the privacy of my living room
- petting a dog, then taking my hand away and watching the dog beg for me to pet him more, confirming that I am, indeed, a good dog petter
- sitting in the sunshine
- that accomplished feeling that comes with assembling a piece of DIY furniture correctly and with no help from a man
- finishing a Sudoku
- winning a game of Spider (four suits)
- using a new shampoo/conditioner/body soap for the first time
- waking up without an alarm and not feeling groggy
- e e cummings
- Stravinsky
- drinking good coffee/tea/really anything hot
- receiving an unexpected email/phone call/letter/visit from an old friend
- chocolate-- in any amount, shape, form, or flavor

I'm impressed---4 suit Spider is something I have not seemed to master. I'm bowing to my sensei.

Ha! Seriously, the FIRST thing I thought of when I read "wearing silly socks" was you, sitting on a sofa, laughing loudly with your mouth wide, and your crazy bright pink (and green, I think) socks! Oh, Ruf; I do miss you; call me again soon!! I love you!
