Enough of that...

After my last post which was full of melancolic angst, I want to make a list of things I love.

1. Playing in a cold rain then going inside to dry off and have having hot chocolate.
2. A good book that makes you sigh when it's finished.
3. My mom's chicken-cheese casserole. Even the leftovers are great!
4. The smell of fresh baked bread.
5. Crawling into my own bed after a long work weekend and snuggling in with my pillows.
6. Hugs by someone bigger than me (who does real hugs not weird A-frame hugs).
7. Talking to my siblings as they grow up and experience life.
8. Buying random presents for people when I KNOW they'll like it.
9. Catching up with old and new friends when I haven't had a chance to speak with them in a while.
10. The feeling of accomplishment when I finish my homework and/or my regular work.
11. Playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata or Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor perfectly.
12. Waking up to the smell of pancakes and bacon.
13. Not having to set an alarm clock.
14. Cooking...especially for other people who don't mind me experimenting on them. :)

Obviously these are not huge things nor is this list a complete compilation, but sometimes making lists of the things in life that are good is the best way I know how to fight ennui or the blues. :)
