10 things that make me smile for no apparent reason

19 Jul

…other than they just make me happy.

cupcakes. that’s an obvious one.
my nephew. he is awesome, and I absolutely love him. I would do anything in this world for him. I also love that even at his young age he has my sense of humour.
sitting next to the ocean. preferably on a foggy day when there is nobody else around.
watching children play. either on their own or together, I love seeing the pure joy on a child’s face when they are immersed in play.
my old cat Fubar. I miss him terribly. He was such a bad ass, which is probably why he was the best cat ever. I smile every time I think of him.
fresh brewed coffee waiting for me when I wake up. no explanation needed there.
this shade of green. it has become known within my circle of friends as lori green.
the smell of lemons. fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, lemon oil. mmmmm… lemons.
driving over that little hill past the split just as you come into Ottawa after a long roadtrip. it’s at that second that I realize I’ve made it home.
lilacs.

Note: I had to change the numbers to bullets because this damn theme defaults to letters instead of numbers. wtf?? If someone could fix that for me it would also make me smile.
