I bookmarked a post called 10 Things We All Celebrate Subconsciously. I agree with every one. But it got me thinking about what I celebrate. So here's my (incomplete, I hope) list of things which give me a little jolt of joy when the occur. In no particular order.
Turning on to my street and seeing a friend's car parked in front of my house. Oh boy company!
Waking up to a clean kitchen with a new gallon of milk in the fridge.
A pat on the back.
A full tank of gas.
A job well done.
Clean clothes all put away.
Saying YES! to a challenge.
A real letter in my mailbox.
Waking up to find my cat snuggled in next to me.
My outdoor shower on a moonlit night or a sunny day.
Clean sheets.
Perfect presents-giving or getting.
A scale model surprise.
When the trees start to bud out in the spring.
Moonlight coming through my bedroom window.
A phone call from a special friend I haven't spoken to in a while.
A wave from a stranger in a car I just let in line in front of me.
A stranger waving me into the line in front of them.
Comfy shoes.
Making a difference.
Complementing someone I don't even know and watching them smile.
Being able to name 100 countries in 10 minutes.
Giving joyfully.
A wonderful friend buying a house down the street.
Finding out that Sri Lanka used to be called Serendip.
New friends.
You!
Happy Easter!
