I came across this list today while sorting and tossing more paperwork from my “home office.” I have discovered that I have saved some interesting things over the past few years. This was from 2000. Seventeen years ago.
Here’s the List of some of the BEST things in life, according to several people who were asked to participate.
Falling in Love
Laughing so hard your face hurts
Lying in bed and listening to the rain outside
Chocolate milkshake
A bubble bath
Hot towels out of the dryer
No lines at Wal-Mart
Getting mail
A hot shower
Finding a sweater you want is on sale for half price
Having someone tell you that you are beautiful
A long conversation with an old friend
Waking up and realizing you still have a few hours to sleep
Finding a $20 bill in your coat pocket from last year.
Your first kiss
Playing with a new puppy or kitten
Sweet dreams
Swinging on a porch swing
Watching a good movie with someone you love
Winning a competition
Making chocolate chip cookies
Holding hands
Riding the best roller coaster
Being tickled
Watching a sunset by the ocean
A pat on the back
An ice cold drink on a really hot day
Having someone give you that special look
Having someone play with your hair
Hot chocolate when it’s snowing
A walk in the park
A surprise
Getting out of bed in the morning and thanking God for another beautiful day
What would you add to this list?
I would add:
Visiting an old friend
Floating in a swimming pool by yourself
Listening to beautiful music
Climbing into a warm bed when its cold outside
Sitting by the fireplace and reading a book
Dancing with the one you love
Holding your newborn in your arms
There are so many more things in life that bring us untold happiness.
Even though there is a lot of bad news in the world, we have a lot of simple pleasures to enjoy, so we should count our blessings as often as we can.
What do think?

Those are all things that bring joy and satisfaction. Family is definitely important.

That's right! Simple things that tap into our feelings and emotions bring the most pleasure.
