Small Pleasures

I just remembered. A few years ago, I got an e-mail and it was the cutest thing ever. It was a list of little things in our day that made us feel good and it was meant for us to read whenever we felt down. So then we'd remember that, in spite of all the bad things that fall upon us, we'd still have these cute precious somethings to brighten our day and bring a smile to our faces. I felt like making a list of my own. Of course there's no specific order =p (Some are originally from the e-mail)

- A hot shower before going to sleep
- Kissing in the rain
- Getting a back massage
- Waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep
- Laughing so hard that your belly hurts
- Wraping presents for christmas
- Running into a friend you haven't seen in years
- Long-distance phone calls
- Watching the expression on someone's face as they open a much desired present from you
- The sunrise
- The smell that remains in the air, after it rains
- Your grandmother/grandfather
- When there are just a few seconds to go before midnight, on new Year's Eve
- Your best friend
- Awesome conversations that go on for hours
- A new pet
- Inside jokes
- Falling in love
- Lying on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, listening to the rain outside

Please tell me if I forgot something.
I probably did. There are too many good things in life.
