- When I look at the sky and can see the clouds moving across it.
- Elderly tourists.
- The split second when you drive under an overpass and the rain stops hitting the windshield.
- Young mothers being nice to their children.
- Lightning.
- The liberal/ pacifist/ tolerance buttons on my sister's backpack.
- Writing in a new notebook for the first time.
- Choosing classes for my first semester of college!
- When my grandmother sends me the 'Classic Ann Landers' column from her local paper every week.
- Snowflakes in eyelashes.
- Wrapping presents.
- The pattern the lights on a Christmas tree make on the wall behind it - the branches look huge and it's all the different colors of the lights, and I could watch forever.
Walking in the rain.
Nice one.
Shalom, y'all!

Thunder too, especially that long crackling rolling kind that sounds like it's circling your house from a distance.
I do love thunder, but lightning makes me happier. It's especially beautiful when you can actually see the line of lightning, not just the light in the sky.
Y'know, I really love this list. I recognize all these little things as happiness-inducers. Anyway, good luck at college this fall!
Thank you, jim.
