Time for a non-political, non-ranting, positive thread. Use this thread to list all the little things in life that make you smile. I'll start:

  • That first sip of your morning coffee.

    Waking up on a weekend, thinking it's a weekday and you need to get up for work, then realizing it's the weekend...

I love the weekday/weekend confusion.

Other good things:

Making nice turns on a pair of skis that you just tuned yourself.

A nice warm embrace of a loved one.

Getting to the summit of that mountain just as the clouds lift to reveal a great view.

Driving along I-93 or 302 and looking up at those high peaks...which seem to get taller everytime you drive by.

Having a beer with a good friend.

The blue bird day following a big snowstorm...when everything is white and shining. :eek:

Seeing the dog running in place while he is sleeping.
Summiting a peak and having a light breeze greet you.
Watching my nephews grow up.
Hiking to my favorite snooze perch and not finding anyone there.

Walkoff homers by the Red Sox on consecutive days! (Yeah, Millar and Varitek!)
Soup on a cold, rainy day.
Unexpected phone call from a long-distance friend.
Watching people sing in their car a little too enthusiastically.
Having a ski run to yourself.
A quiet trailhead in the morning, with the fog quickly burning off.

Good one.

Being "next" in any line.
Thursdays.
Fenway Park.
FOT48
New Sneakers.
Catching "your" song, at the beginning, on the radio.
Waking up, thinking you have to get up, but realizing you have 3 hours left in bed.
Aces over kings.

"DADDY'S HOME!!!!!"

Nothing like coming home from a sucky day at work, opening the door, and seeing this pint sized pile of energy running full steam at you yelling "Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da!!!!!" :D

Others:
Any day that requires the wearing of 8)
That new car smell.
When the wife says "Ice cream's ready!" (She made the first batch of the summer last night)
The moment your head hits the pillow after a long day.
