I thought it would be fun to list life's little pleasures. We are all so busy to notice the little things, like a randon compliment from a stranger, or a child's laugh.

I would like to see what you all consider life's little pleasures, but lets go it as a game. List one simple pleasure. You can't list another one until someone else posts.

I'll start:

Hitting the green light on your way home when you're used to sitting at a red light (man that light is always red! :D)

Wow, am I jealous! I love my little juncos dearly, but they are very monochromatic (black with white tummies).

An unexpectedly good book.

Seeing the crocus and daffodils poking their colorful little heads out of the ground, after a long and snowy winter. Hearing the first songs and chirps of the returning birds, early on a Spring morning.

She already works there in the Entertainment department. We had a joke that she was gonna be Princess Leia because she always made jokes about how nerdy I was for liking Star Wars. Well guess who she is the right height for and guess who she is auditioning for? ;)

Finishing your english paper, the end of an awful week, and being able to go to sleep before 1am when you have to get up at 7:00AM!!! And of course, the feel of your bed after a long day, curling up all warm and cozy under the covers.
