The small everyday things in life which make us smile. (Please read OP)

[BookishGirl]

The first good rain of the season.

 

[nChrist]

The smell of brewing coffee and then that first sip

 

[rebornfree]

Feeling not too hot and not too cold!

 

[BookishGirl]

The sound of rain on the roof.

 

[nChrist]

Seeing most of my family often. Three of them live a long way from here.

 

[rebornfree]

Nice unexpected surprises, like the chocolates my neighbour gave me when I'd watered her plants; she'd chosen my favourites without knowing it.

 

[joyshirley]

The first brilliant shaft of sunlight after rain on and off for days.

 

[rebornfree]

Sharing amusing anecdotes.

(BTW when I was posting about chocolate above I wistfully asked the Lord if He could reduce its calorific value. I sensed He answered "Yes, eat less of it!" )

 

[BookishGirl]

See's Butterscotch Lollipops that become available in my area at Christmastime.

Mince pies

 

[joyshirley]

Sunlight gleaming on copper beech trees, making them look shiny and glittery.

 

[BookishGirl]

My grandmother's Christmas ornaments.

 

[nChrist]

Old family picture albums.

 

[rebornfree]

Knowing that the Christmas parcels, cards and letters are all sent!

 

[rebornfree]

Getting a job done around the house, which has felt like a heavy weight and now it's done.

Yes, well worth the effort and it feels good...

Going through 4 cupboards and getting all the herbs and spices sorted out! Some things there were 3 and 4 of the same thing!! They are all labeled, and arranged the way I like---in alphabetical order! Yes! What a feeling to be able to relax and not have that monster on my back anymore---it took me 7 hours!

cloth napkins

 

[mmksparbud]

Giving "buckeyes" to people who had never even heard of them before and watching their faces light up!
I made a huge batch and gave them to 5 people who'd never had any. Immediate and total converts!

I had to look that up mmksparbud, and I guess you mean the candies. (I also found it being described as a tree, a butterfly, a native of Ohio and a railway coupling!) That made me smile.
