Little things that make you smile...

[Aggie_Ama]

My husband and my dad bought me bags of Robin's Eggs because they know they only sell them at Easter and I love them.

My sweet little Heidi Ho snuggling up to me.

Tortilla chasing hair ties, dust bunnies or Heidi.

Hearing my husband laugh, it is what made me love him because we laughed so much.

The bluebonnets blooming, reminds me of my Maggie Bear and brings the biggest smile to my face.

A fun downhill on the mountain bike. WEEEEEE!!!

The smell of the mountain laurels blooming.

Baby goats they have to be some of the funniest critters.

Life's Little Pleasures:

Laying on clean cotton sheets after a cold shower following a hot summertime ride!

The rush after climbing a 15% grade hill

Driving with the top down on a 70 degree day

Hearing my daughter say "Daaaadeeee" (even though I know she want's something)

Ian's humour and intelligence

Being able to spin properly through deep sections of pea gravel

Picking the right line and having a sweet mtb ride

Our crazy doggies. Enjoying the waves w Yukon at the doggie beach. Laughing at Ozzie's stoned dog look.

Kookaburras giggling

Bobtails and Kangaroos on the trails


Locating the exact info I need for a university paper *phew* and knowing the best resources

Despite my post from the pisses me off thread that I hate people talking my Spinnnig class... I love it when they talk after class and one person says, "...*sigh* thanks, I needed that". I teach mainly at night to the after work crowd. It makes me feel like the Goddess Of Stress Relief. And I know exactly where they are coming from. The passion of pedaling soothes their souls. I can never go without smiling when I think of that (&that I get to deliver it to them).

I love seeing an older couple (70s+yo) holding hands... like it was their first day being in love (though you know they have probably been together many years).

I love seeing Mother Nature's creatures. Like watching my wild birds feed.

I love seeing frost on my breath on the first crisp sunny Fall day.

I love looking at the bushes and trees that have been dorment all winter now suddenly starting to explode with pretty green leaves & buds. Renew = rejoice.

I love these stupid little coffee lid hole covers my favorite shop has. They change for each season, and some have sayings on them. I look forward to what silly little thing will be rotated in next.

A bald eagle soaring in the sky, or even just sitting on a branch, makes me ridiculously happy.

Good thought, Veronica, and as someone who was quick to post on the piss you off thread, I feel like I should contribute equally or greater to this thread!

- First leaves and flowers of spring

- My dog sitting politely in hopes that he will get treats from the table; watching him chase his tail because I accidently dropped a little creme fraiche on him!

- Coming home from a few days out of town to find that DH has washed my car

- Getting letters, postcards and pictures from friends and family who are far away

- Watching seniors skate at the West Edmonton Mall and picking out which ones are pretending like they're not trying to lap everyone else.

- Learning a new skill.

Ok, the homemade tiramisu yesterday at Easter dinner, was just lovely and delicious ! Makes me smile thinking about it.

Warm evenings on the bike.
Washing my bike.
My bike.
My mattock (I know, weird but a girl's best friend in the garden).
The smell of linseed oil.
Magpies trying to work out a frozen bird bath.

.. watching him chase his tail because I accidently dropped a little creme fraiche on him!

Accidental?? Yeh, sure it was!

I like watching my doggie snooze. He always looks so peaceful and happy. In wintertime, I wrap him up in a blanket, and all I can see of him is his head sticking out. It's awfully cute and makes me grin like an idiot!
