This is a good thread to start the day off...
-my cats, anytime of the day, anything they do, they make me smile and laugh and feel warm in my heart
-not getting up to an alarm clock
-the look of my back yard after hours of work and seeing progress!
-the sun & a sunny spring day here in paradise
Cassie Cat and Thom playing with a ribbon.
15 pounds of Tucker Cat sprawled in my lap.
Boxing with my trainer. :D

BF...makes me smile every day
cycling on a warm spring (or summer, but we're only in April yet) day
ice cream!
when BF brings me a little treat just because (usually chocolate)
sunshine
bopping away to cheesy music
Playing a great set of tunes with friends in a session... or for a room full of contra dancers
Riding my bike on a beautiful day, especially with my husband
Talking to my daughter in England on Skype
Finishing a really good book
Getting ready to enjoy a meal with a plate of vibrant colors, textures and aromas. And finishing the same meal
Watching Irish dancers perform - especially when it was my son (now "retired")
Seeing birds in their fresh spring plumage. The songs of thrushes.
The smell of wine fermenting right outside my house (we finally started crush on Monday)
Spontaneous hugs from my boys
The Peruvian meadowlark that taps on my office window because it thinks its reflection is another bird
Now that thought even made me smile! :)Quote:

Beautiful Spring (warm) weather with very little wind!
Yesterday's first road ride with old friend in the warm spring weather with very little wind
The beautiful Osprey soaring overhead, round and round!
I love spring when there is little wind
...............stepping out in the sun today and walking and while stopping a few times, listening to the birds and noticing different flowers that have now bloomed.
Funny really, usually I am dashing about like a blue a*sed fly never having time to notice much at all. :rolleyes:
Life is good.
Clock
Watching my 16 yo and 25 yo ride off in full kit on their brand new bikes!

Well, following along Tuckervill's post, watching my 27 yr. old son ride like the wind on our group ride, despite the fact he's riding my younger son's 10 year old Serotta, with a regular double, flat pedals, and a vicious headwind. Never mind that the nice Craft jacket I bought him already has so much grease on it, it looks 100 years old and his tights have a zipper missing.
And seeing his closest friend, who he met when we moved to MA in 1990, riding with us, too, was inspiring. He spent all summer doing a self supported tour in Europe....
the cabbage and swiss chard sprouting in my garden...
the first farmer's market of the spring downtown-- and having trouble finding a place to lock up my bike there, because there were already so many bikes parked here there and everywhere...
New one - just happened the first time today:
Thinking about taking the bike around a corner to go on a street I've not yet been on and my bike just does it. No prompting from me or being afraid I will fall over:D
Ok, so far only one of my bikes will do this, my Trek still seems to require more attention in cornering, but this made me REALLY smile on my first ride on my new LHT today :) It was COOL!
