im not feeling particularly positive right now. so i figured id type out the things that make me smile.
the baby sparrows in the shed. today they started flying lessons. somehow, watching them hatch and grow has been life-affirming for me.
turning on the tv to find my favourite show will be on in two minutes. no need to search for something.
finishing an awesome book. sad but happy at the same time.
postsecret sundays.
when im out in public and some random baby starts looking at me and laughing with me. or maybe it is laughing at me. i dont know.
when i put water in the freezer and remember to take it out at just the right time, so it's all slushy with ice. also works well with energy drinks.
making up a meal by arbitrarily throwing ingredients together and having it turn out really nice.
when i get a package in the mail from the u.s. i always take a big whiff of the air inside of it.
finding cool old tshirts at the op shop.
discovering new music. discovering new things about old music.
listening to other peoples morbid conversations, especially if they are talking about some big event like 9/11.
3am drunk text messages from my best friend babbling on about how we 'get' eachother. they are so rare.
my other friends family. they are the cutest couple, with the cutest kids. really good people.
ellen degeneres.
shooting stars!
big, scary, dark, wild storms.
sitting on my verandah, watching the trees and the wildlife.
remembering something from my childhood that i hadn't thought of since it happened. seems to happen a lot lately.
when my crazy cat alvy jumps into bed at 6am, purring madly, desperate for attention. or biscuits.
when a day turns out to be spectacular, spontaneous.
deserted beaches.
the lady at the sushi bar at australia fair.
the lady at the bus depot in southport. she is ding dong crazy, in a really awesome way. i love her.
thats all i can think of right now. i might add more later.
