Just being grateful for the chirping of the birds, the freshness in the air and the silence as you take an early morning walk in the neighborhood.

Getting a second chance and making it count.

When a cover band at a pub takes your request and plays your song.

The final few moments of high school just before the final bell of your high school career rings.

Getting the opportunity to explore a new city when you have free time on a business trip.

Memories that still make you laugh decades later.

Peaceful sunset walks.

When the door shuts and suddenly it's quiet and you have the whole house to yourself.

Spontaneous adventures. Plans are good; spur of the moment is sometimes better.

Days when you simply feel good about yourself.

The moment you wake up and realize that the terrible, disastrous experience you had was just a dream.

A second chance at life after your cancer goes into remission.

Going through old photo albums on the computer and remembering awesome moments that hadn’t crossed your mind in a while.

Catching someone checking you out. (They may have just been looking, but stroke that ego regardless.)

Still being healthy, happily married, and independent at 88 years old.

Days when you actually feel pretty or handsome.

When the day arrives to see a play or show with the tickets you received months ago.
