Brown paper packages, tied up with strings...

I read a list today about favorite things, and I realized I have a lot of things listed under "favorite". Things that immediately put a smile on my face simply by happening.


Favorites--

- Reading my old journals. I was so dramatic as a child!
- Cold soft sheets on summer nights.
- The way your hair smells after driving with the windows down.
- Acoustic anything.
- Having your best friend call right when you need it.
- The taste of a cherry tomato as is bursts in her mouth.
- Smell of fresh cut grass.
- The feeling you have right before you jump out of an airplane.
- Overcasty, gray skied Sundays.
- Everything yellow.
- The way I feel in a great pair of heels.
- Writing my secrets in foggy windows and watching them disappear.
- The way Mayzie tilts her head when I ask her a question.
- Long, well needed drives.
- Grapefruits. Every single thing about them.
- The sweet smell of puppy breath.
- Hearing a song you haven't in years, and still being able to sing every word.

Sometimes I think we need a reminder that it's the little things that make the biggest difference.
Little things that make life that much sweeter!
