There are just so many small things in life that we need to appreciate - because without them, really, what would life be? If you are looking for a smile, even a laugh, sit down and just take a minute to think about some simple, little experiences or things that make your life better, that make your life your life.
To me, all of these things in my life are just perfection:
* that feeling that you get on the ultimate drop on Rollercoasters
* the enjoyment of a Caramel Frappuccino, including its whipped cream
* watching a storm come in over the ocean, sitting on rocky cliffs
* the color change of leaves in the fall
* peanut butter and jelly sandwiches cut into 4 triangles
* watching the excitement of little kids as they run and try to catch and pop bubbles
* sitting with my Mom on the boardwalk in Algonac, watching the ferries come in
* then getting Dairy Queen, even though it wasn't a hot summer day
* knowing the answer to questions on Jeopardy
* seeing that someone has mentioned you in their away message online, or better yet their profile
* when the warm sun comes out on a cool day, and when the hot sun hides behind the clouds on a sweltering day
* when you see a picture of yourself that really looks quite good
* friends writing poems about you, whether funny, sad, happy, or a combination
* sneaking Little Caesar's crazy bread into the movie theater
* coming home with a basket of ripe raspberries even though you fell into the huge prickly bushes twice
* although 'there's no such thing as a free lunch' and 'everything has an opportunity cost', anything FREE without any strings attached is always a bonus
These are just some small things that came to mind that have really made my life all that it is .... these things in a word are perfection. Find the perfection in your life.
