The Best Things in Life

After yesterday's downer, let's finally get to the good stuff! Today is a two-for-one, too, because they're not necessarily quirky by default, but they certainly can be.

Here's a list of some best things in life. Examples?

1. Falling in love.
   
2. Laughing so hard your face hurts.
   
3. A hot shower.
   
4. No lines at the Super Wal-Mart.
   
5. A special glance.
   
6. Getting mail.
   
7. Taking a drive on a pretty road.
   
8. Hearing your favorite song on the radio.
   
9. Lying in bed listening to the rain outside.
   
10. Hot towels out of the dryer.

The list goes to 57 and if you want to add to it, just email James Huggins (it's listed on the page).

And for part two? Your top 10. Over on Gather, for a while, the "meme" of sorts was circulating....list the top 10 things in your life that make you happy right now or that you appreciate, etc.

For example, this was Diana's list:

10. I have a great job

9. I have a nice home

8. I have plenty to eat (too much maybe :)

7. I have a car that runs

6. I have a hobby (love to sew)

5. I'm close to my family

4. I can go to the beach whenever I want

3. I'm in great health

2. I have two wonderful kids

1. I have a loving husband!

So what's on your list? It doesn't have to be analyzed, planned, or well-thought out. No need to rank them in order or worry about forgetting something. Just what's making you happy right now? When everything is going wrong, what is it that you still have to look forward to? What do you have that not everyone may be able to appreciate?
