Things that make me happy:

*Clean laundry
*A big hug
*Cuddling
*A lazy, relaxed evening with nothing important to do
*The fresh, warm, clean feeling right after you get out of the shower. You're dressed, but still barefoot; hair still damp; no makeup or anything on yet.
*Real mail--not bills
*A profound thought
*A sincere, unexpected compliment
*Being able to make someone else's day a little bit brighter
*Getting a paper back with a good mark on it
*Going for coffee and sitting and talking for hours on end
*Sleeping in
*Freshly painted nails
*Having a nice, yummy home-cooked meal
*Warm cookies and cold milk
*A sleepover in my big waterbed
*Good notes after a rehearsal
*Laughing until my abs hurt
*Being able to cry and let it all out, even when I look like a fool
*A surprise visit from a friend
*A squeal of delight
*Watching a baby play
*Sitting outside in the country on a warm night, watching the stars with no city lights to be a distraction
*Making a new friend
*Hearing from an old friend for the first time in a long time
*Being able to give someone a hug
*Being the first one awake at a sleepover, when it's so peaceful and quiet, and everyone else is still asleep
*Watching a movie with "someone" and drifting off, cuddled on the couch together
*Hearing my favorite song on the radio
*Hearing an old favorite song, that I haven't heard in years, on the radio
*Being silly and dancing around the room just because I feel like it
*Fun memories of silly times
*Making new memories of more silly times
*A new outfit
*A good, long talk about something deep
*Making up after a fight
