I love this list of small pleasures, I found it when looking for things to put on my 100 Things to Do in 2010 which I started last March. I will be posting my list on here soon, but for now look over this one. It has some sweet things on it, good to have around for a bad day.

Some of my favorites:
-Coloring (yes, grown-ups can do it, too)
-Crisp cotton sheets (Mmm, clean sheets are the best)
-A genuine compliment (giving or receiving)
-A handwritten letter (I love sending "snail mail" it is such a welcome surprise amidst all the junk and bills)
-A home cooked meal (Even better if you make it yourself, I find cooking to be relaxing and rewarding)
-A bubble bath (I suggest the addition of candles and a good book and you've got yourself a good evening)
-An afternoon nap (I could use one now)
-The wind in your hair (Driving with the windows down in great weather and listening to great music, singing at the top of my lungs)
-Treating the person behind you at the drive-thru (Selfess and sneaky)
-Puppies (Nothing is better than a puppy. Nothing. The loose puppy skin, the sweet puppy breath, the little puppy kisses, and the sleepy puppy cuddling. If I am having a bad day and I see a puppy, nothing else matters.)
-Root beer floats (A treat I rarely think of, but so easy and so fulfilling)
-Holding hands (My favorite, just feels good to have someone hold your hand)
-Fireflies (I really wish we had these here because seeing fireflies for the first time in Iowa as a teenager was one of the purest moments of absolute joy that I have ever experienced, complete with squeals and giggles)
