Taking a penny from the 'take a penny, leave a penny' cup when you really need it.

Lying in a warm beam of sunlight coming through the window.

When everything feels like it's going wrong, and then suddenly you catch a break and everything works out better than you had anticipated.

Perfectly painted nails.

Coming out of depression and feeling so glad you held on because you actually feel happy. The wait was worth it.

The breath of fresh air that hits you every once in a while, reassuring you that you have a lot to look forward to.

In bed on a summer's night that is still and warm and a thunderstorm begins to brew in the distance. A cool breeze begins to blow through the open windows causing the curtains to flutter as it cools your warm skin. Flashes of heat lighting light up the room and the low rumbling sound of thunder in the distance, puts you to sleep.

Coming home to the smell of cookies or cakes baking in the oven.

Being a regular at a restaurant or bar and getting local discounts, free drinks and appetizers, etc.

Knowing what to say or do at just the right moment.

That moment just before you fall asleep, when you are barely awake, but still aware of how warm and comfy you are.

When you finally come back to America after studying abroad for a while.

When someone gives you a heartfelt "thank you."

Discovering a new talent you didn't know you had.

Afternoon naps on the couch.

When an inconvenient appointment gets cancelled at the last minute.

Getting your spring clothes out of the closet after a long cold winter.
