Went on a long run today, thought up happy thoughts and thought I’d share them with you guys. Feel free to add more "feel goods". There can never be enough!
Smiling Strangers – especially cute ones with dimples
Kids with Glasses – think jerry maguire kid
Crisp Clean Air – think mountain air, not the don valley
Fireworks – especially with someone special
Soul/Motown Music – on a sunday morning
Fresh Towels – out of the dryer
Double Rainbows – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSNhk5ICTI
Pocket Money – especially when you discover it after a wash
Cool Accents – south african, aussies, proper brits, and jamaican
Completed To-Do Lists – that “ahh, I feel like an accomplished human being for the day” feeling
Warm Breezes – when you are lacking a sweater you were going to wear but thought you’d Canadian-it-out
Runner’s High – you have to feel it to believe it
Goal Assists – the glory of a goal is something, but knowing that you made it even possible is something else
Heartfelt Hugs – especially when both huggers are closing their eyes
Sun Rains – shows you that in life, even in nature there is irony, but ultimately it’s all in your perspective: happy sun on the outside, but rainy dark on the inside….or…..sad rainy on the outside, but truly sunny bright on the inside
Sunsetting Sky – monet like skies (vanilla sky), the end can be just as beautiful as the beginning and vice versa
Sunrises & Coffee – especially when the morning is cool enough to see the hot coffee steam in the sunlight
S’mores & Bonfires – especially with a smokeless fire and a friend with a guitar
Cool Room and Warm Bed – makes the bed that much warmer and yet inescapeable
Full Tank of Gas – especially when you thought it was empty….one less task to think about
Random High Fives – shows you the universe it rooting for you
Flowers in Bloom – the moment of true beauty
A Hockey Deke-out – all your skills amounted to one moment, executed to perfection, another moment of true beauty
The Smell of Sauteed Onions – after the laborous peeling, suffering, chopping, crying; the sweetness of something so bitter finally reveals itself and makes you think….it was truly worth it…
The Perfect Golf Swing – paired with the contact of a golf ball and a sweet on the green landing just shy of the cup…..drool
The Smell of Freshly Baked Bread – especially when it was your creation
Being the first to jump into an untouched pool – it is always exhilerating being the first, being #1, starting a trend, even if it’s just you and the water
Catching the gaze on you from a beautiful stranger – makes your head bigger in ego but your soul blush in flattery
An unexpected compliment – makes you realize that all the little things that you do that you thought no one would notice, are actually noticed and enjoyed by others
A photo opp too beautiful for a photo – you are in awe, your breath is truly taken away, your knees buckle, you just have to sit down
A blast from the past – whether friendships, old flames, or acquaintances-hoped-for-friendships, they show you that you can time travel and live in the past, present, AND future
The moment you remember something that’s been nagging you – moment of clarity where you feel like you have suddenly evolved into a higher being….hehe
Old Couples – shows you that love can last a lifetime
Pillow Talk – so comforting and intimate, shows you how close you can be with someone at your most natural state (think of people in your life that you can pillow talk with, these people are the people you truly trust and love)
Basketball Swoosh – especially when it is for the win or when your team really needs it to boost morale
Midnight – a crazy cool time of day; it’s neither night or day, evening or morning, dark in sight but bright at night with the moon.Post Teeth Brushing mouth – so fresh and so clean, so fresh and so clean!
Sharing a Breathtaking view – these are the best photos you can take….with you mind, that will last forever
Sea Breeze – being seduced by the sea, spiritually sexy (if that makes any sense…)
Starry Skies – “shoot for the moon, and if you miss, it’s okay, because you will still be among the stars”
Hearing the wind blow – feeling it is one thing, but hearing it is truly spectacular….not mind-blowing, but senses-blowing
A tennis Ace – accumulation of power and precision, the essence of athletic giftedness
The sound of a path crunching under your boots when hiking – makes you feel like you are on a mission towards something big
Car Seat Warmers – especially when it has been unexpectedly preheated for you and it is freezing outside
A Hot Shower – especially after a day of cleaning or a hard days work, the cleansing is almost therapeutic
Catching/Cooking/Sharing your dinner – The process of creating something out of nothing and having the ability to share it with others….this simple procedure can be an allusion to many bigger things in life that make you feel significant. You just have to make the time to think about it and reflect.
