Simple Pleasures


I was filling out a questionaire the other day and one of the questions was
"What makes you happy?" Hmmm. I answered that the very simple things that don't cost money make me happy. I have very simple pleasures. Then today, my friend Karl sent me an email with the heading "Natural Highs". After consuming many "natural highs" in my life, I opened the email and this is exactly the stuff I was thinking about..
So, since I am big into lists (couldn't tell could ya) I present the top 40 natural highs.
1. Falling in love.
2. Laughing so hard your face hurts.
3. A hot shower.
4. No lines at the supermarket
5. A special glance.
6. Getting mail
7. Taking a drive on a pretty road.
8. Hearing your favorite song on the radio.
9. Lying in bed listening to the rain outside.
10. Hot! towels fresh out of the dryer.
