Scott Adams posted today a blog entry titled "Small Pleasures." In keeping with a positive vibe, I'll see if I can't come up with a few things that I like.
Finding a book that I wasn't expecting - from one of my favorite authors... and finding a favorite character on the first page.
Finishing a really good book. I close it, and then go back and look at the liner notes, and then if I can make myself do it, do a little ceremony where I place it into a slot in the bookcase. *reminder - shelve the books I have all over the place.*
The taste of the first bite of a piece of cheesecake that has been sitting on the table next to me for the duration of a meal. It HAS to be savored.
Opening the closet and finding clean clothes for work - without having to dig in the dryer. Bonus points if they aren't in need of ironing.
The feeling of satisfaction I get after hard lawn work - and putting all of the tools away - especially if there is a nice breeze, and it's not too hot.
Going through the images on my camera's memory card, and finding a singular *wow* image. It doesn't happen often enough. That's why I'm not a pro.
Having my cat rub against my leg. (usually when I'm in the kitchen, making lunch)
Making my wife laugh really hard. Doesn't happen enough - I'm not a comedian, but when it does, I feel good.
Watching my son realize something I said was funny - and seeing the smile appear across his face.
When my son says "I love you" and I haven't done something like give him a piece of cake.
