10 Joyful Things

[vr_trakowski]

I don't usually do memes, but this is a nice one. I was tagged by cincoflex, but I decline to tag others--if it intrigues you, go ahead and do it.

So, in no particular order...

1. Greeting and being greeted by the family dog.
2. Christmas morning and opening presents with my family, for the sheer closeness and fun of it.
3. Writing a really really good passage, the kind that is so good that I'm twitching while I type.
4. Easter morning hymns in church, the really triumphant ones.
5. Walking out of a California airport and taking my first deep whiff of that singular air.
6. Finding exactly the right, best, most exciting gift for someone.
7. Driving on the Beltway on a low-traffic, sunny day with the windows rolled down and Rich Mullins on the iPod--loud.
8. Scones and clotted cream!
9. Seeing Cinco's IM ID flash up when she logs on.
10. Feeling the plane wheels leave the tarmac.

Hmm, while my answers were quite different, I can't help but go 'Right, that makes me happy too!'when reading your meme. :D It's so nice to see how often it are the little things that can make a person happy or excited.

Fascinating, isn't it? *grin* I noticed trends in family, friends, and food, as well as the warm moments.
