1. The night before vacation - after everything is packed, loaded and ready to roll is there anything better than sitting down in anticipation of the big vacation on the horizon?
2. Watching cartoons with kids - what can make a person happier in a moment then when a 6 year old is laughing at the same mindless TV show that you are?
3. Arriving to a party and having people stop talking and seem excited that you have arrived - this happened to me once and it felt nice enough to make my list.
4. Being welcomed \ attacked by children when you come home - it doesn't even have to be your own.
5. Daytime Silence - rare for me but it has been attained....blissful.
6. Going barefoot in GOOD grass - a good patch of grass is hard to find but if you do I fully recommend this activity.
7. Quality morning stretch complete with incoherent noises - wonderful way to start your day.
8. A real bearded Santa at the mall - much better than the fake 25 year old with a stick on.
9. Eating things you loved as a kid - I really only do this once a year on my birthday...bowl full of Oreo's in milk..AWESOME!
10. High-Fiving a baby - you rarely find a baby that will leave you hanging...plus they really seem to enjoy it as well.
I could go on and on but I will leave that to you...feel free to leave a comment to add to the list.
Don't the Oreos get soggy by the end?
ReplyDelete1. Hearing a Toby Mac song ring on my phone...means Matt is calling me. Always makes me smile...I guess that's about as much "schmoopy" as you'll get from us.
2. Alex's giggle
3. Josh's kisses
4. Good times with great friends...spending time with friends that have become as close as family
I could go on and on and on. What a great idea to take a minute to focus on the positives...thanks, man! Surprised to see this outpouring of "happy" from you! Not that you're not a happy guy, but, well, you know, you did rip the gate off your back patio once, I hear...
Cheers, Jen
