the simple things

a list of some of my favorite things/things that make me happy

-listening to jazz on the radio while driving at night
-taking a nice hot shower after crawling out of a cold bed
-eating something really really good and bringing someone the next time to show them too
-nature/scenery
-doing a puzzle--it's actually very calming
-learning something interesting (statistics, human psychology, trivia, operating a circus..etc)
-family dinners
-watching people that are happy (especially children, something innocent about them)
-a flattering compliment (particularly by someone you don't know--not in a creepy way)
-watching the stars and realizing that we're so minuscule and finite
-being encouraged
-creativity
-being in a new place (traveling)
-doing something spontaneous and it being successful
-camping
-failing at something but not being alone
-watching a good movie/reading a good book
-thinking back on positive memories
-hope


*I want to edit this if I think of other things
**many of these things can be accentuated when accompanied by someone special
