Things That Feel Good

They don't have to be big things or particularly important things except in the warm feelings they bring. It never hurts to be reminded of them, regardless of what age we are.

Falling in love
Laughing so hard your face hurts
A hot shower
No lines at the supermarket
A special glance
Getting mail
Taking a drive on a pretty road
Hearing your favorite song on the radio
Lying in bed listening to the rain outside
Hot towels fresh out of the dryer
Chocolate milkshake – or vanilla or strawberry
A bubble bath
Giggling
A good conversation
The beach
Finding a 20 dollar bill in your coat from last winter
Laughing at yourself
Midnight phone calls that last for hours
Running through sprinklers
Laughing for absolutely no reason at all
Having someone tell you that you’re beautiful/handsome
Laughing at an inside joke
Friends
Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you
