A few things that make life worth living...

Well since Ash has made quite an admirable list of things he hates, I thought I shld start a list of the small, simple things that make life sweeter.By these, I don't mean getting a new iPod or into a gr8 univ,though these things make us happy too. Feel free to conribute,I'll add all suggestions that I agree wid!
* Watching a sunrise/sunset.
* Loving and being loved in return(and by that,I'm not talkin exclusively of romantic love).
* Listening to the soft breathing of a sleeping baby, and glimpsing a sudden sleep-smile.
* Getting a spontaneous hug when ur feeling down.
* Finding money in the folds of your sofa.
* Taking your braces off(after painful years!) and smiling at a mirror.
* The smell of rain drenched earth.
* Lying in the sun.
* Reading a gr8 book in bed, with a plate of hot chips, while the rain beats down in torrents.
* Overhearing sum1 praising you.
* Tuning into a radio station just as they start playing ur fave song.
* Walking barefoot in dewy grass.
* Playing wid a puppy.
* Talking to an old frnd.
* Smiling.
* Jumping into a cold pool on a warm day.
* Looking at ur baby photos.
* Wishing upon an eyelash/shooting star.
* Telling ur parents wat they mean to u.
* Getting top marks in a test u never studied for.
* Winning a board game wid ur family.
* Winning a game when no1 gave u a chance of doing so.
* Coming home, tird and hungry, to find that ur mum cooked ur fave foods.
* Sitting in a warm tub (preferably with bubble bath!) after a long day.
* First day of summer hols!
* Frnd licking an icecream and gloating, and suddenly it slips and falls to the ground(vine,ur evil! bt i lyk t!)
* .....u gotta temme da next!

nice post....i liked the one about braces the most .

heres somethings i can think of now.

1)winning a game , any game when none gave you a chance of winning it
2)running into an old friend after ages .
3)coming home to find your favourite food being made :-) .
4)Being told by someone that your not right , basically supporting your views.

i'll put in more , at this hour i'm muddled enough already so my brains pretty darn dissfunctional.
