These are a few of my favorite things....

I only clicked on the link http://zenhabits.net/2007/07/75-simple-pleasures-to-brighten-your-day/ thinking I would just glimpse over but there were some parts of the article which went unnoticed. I was just about to close the window when I realized how well I could relate to some of the points enlisted there. These might not necessarily brighten my day but they do leave me exhilarated for some time at least, and even more as I write about these.

So whats on my list :
  • Walking barefoot in grass - I enjoy the ticklish feeling as I walk - my feet pressing into and off the soft grass is a lovely feeling.
  • The smell of fresh uncut grass - this goes extremely well with the smell of wet earth. It leaves me rejuvenated! The latter is generally after a rain. (How about getting drenched in rain.?!!)
  • Hugging a child tightly - and what follows for most of the times is a squeak or a whimper which makes me cuddle the kid even tighter!
  • A long conversation with a good friend - all the better if over a cup of elaichi or ginger tea or coffee - It can leave me relaxed and my mood uplifted especially if I have laughed throughout the conversation. Its the same as I talk to some one unknown.
  • Acting crazy in public - Believe me its crazy! Its not that I do it intentionally - I guess that's my build - :) I get into the fits generally when I am with a good friend - (He/She should not be put off by that - and if that's the case I am put off even more! ). I knew I like being like that only when I came upon this article.
  • Being gifted with flowers and adorning my home with flowers - Buying fresh flowers every Sunday morning, arranging it on your coffee table of your living room, your dining table and bed room - what a delightful thought!!
  • Loud music - when your own voice is inaudible and you are unable to think of anything even when you want to - It can be intoxicating!
  • Enid Blyton books -I remember my school days some how (my school days are the best days of my life) I plan to have a collection of Enid Blyton books!
  • Hearing someone who can make you laugh.
I don't know if this is an exhaustive list but surely a few of my favorite things!

Hmm!
Loud music? Ha that's a surprise :D I'm assuming this excludes certain kinds.
