Little things that make you smile...

[katluvr]

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

[azfiddle]

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.

[Chile Pepper]

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!

Coming downstairs in the a.m. and finding that DH has made coffee for me. Awesome.

Line-dried laundry. Watching my almost 2yo daughter go crazy over an ant on the sidewalk.

Life is pretty good around here!

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.

Life is good.

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...

[Catrin]

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

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!
