The cool air at NIGHT just before the sun comes up. Hey, I watch the sunrise, then go to bed. LOL.

Clean fresh sheets and a fluffy comforter to make a nest out of.

The way the house looks after a really deep cleaning (for about 15 minutes, anyway)

Being able to identify many, many songs and movies when people say "what was that movie that had that guy that was in Space Cowboys, and there was a car, and some other guy in it".

When a guy my son was friends with about 15 years ago (they were both around 5 at the time) ran into me and REMEMBERED me after 15 years! He said "you used to stand on the balcony of your apartment and throw bubble gum down to us. You were so cool". When a 5 year old can remember you 15 years later, that's thrilling.

Going to the hardware store and buying neat stuff. I love little hardware doodads, and a new switch plate will send me over the moon.

When my husband works 60 hours in one week, and cleans the living room because I had to work too (11 hours in one week).

When my kids say "you're the best mom ever" for no reason.

When I send my husband to the store for some tomato sauce, and he brings back my favorite candy bar, just because.

Finding just enough loose change around the house to buy an ice cream cone. (If it's loose change, it's mad money)

When my favorite authors have new books released.

Winning an auction on Ebay for my opening bid, instead of my maximum bid.

Totally redecorating a room for under $5.00 (just did that one today!)

Having people like you guys on Back Talk.

That "A-ha!" look on a student's face during class.

Learning something new on my guitar.

My wife's smile.

Introducing something new to a friend, that they like. (Most Koreans have never eaten anything other than Korean food, American fast food, Japanese food or what passes for Chinese food here. I love when I can turn them onto something new.)

A good cup of coffee, whether drip- or espresso based.

English pipe tobacco, especially Dunhill's.

And, as of late, throwing a frisbee.

Playing board games with a small group of friends.
