When perfect strangers tell me to go in front of them in the cashier line, because they have a ton of items and I only have a couple.

The nice driver who lets me take my left turn.

The way your dogs are always happy to see you, no matter what.

Your kids hugs... especially as they get older!

When your DH calls you that nickname that only he calls you.

When you can have a nice, chatty conversation with your kid's friend' mom.

The feeling you get when you pull in your driveway from being away, knowing you're home sweet home.

Logging on to the Cathe forums!

The list can go on and on.... can't it???
 
Sitting on my front porch with a cup of tea

Having a good laugh with DH at night when we're lying in bed

A quiet evening at home

Living and dying with the characters in a good book

Accidentally finding a forgotten $5 in my jeans pocket

The way my niece and nephew come flying out the door to greet me, whenever I show up

Smiling and chatting with the cashier who's just been yelled at by some grump

A good therapist

Loving my country

That great post-exercise, just showered feeling

DH coming in the door at night

The freedom to read, watch, think, say and believe what I want

This is really nice.

When my kids give me kisses and hugs and they tell me they love me.

When my parents tell me that I have turned out to be a beautiful person after enduring the past with me.

When my DH gives me hugs and kisses and tells me he loves me.

My home.

Friends

Family

My health.

And most of all, my life!!!

Happy holidays to all of you Catheites!!!!

My students, who teach me and make me laugh every day.

My husband, who will drive to three different stores in the middle of the night to find just the right medicine for me when I am sick.

Waking up in the morning with a cat curled up on my feet, my husband next to me, and the dog curled up in his dog bed.

My job, working with truly caring, supportive and cooperative co-workers.

My cannondale. 12 years old, never a flat, and I just love it.

My animals and their unconditional love

My nephews laugh and twinkling eyes

The smell of crisp fall air w/the scent of pines .. and the scent of crisp spring air and the scent of flowers

How clean everything looks after a rain

The ocean and sunsets amazing beauty

Knowing my best friend will always be there for me to pick me up when I am down, to hold my hand when I am afraid, and to kick my butt when I am wrong.

Nature .. and it's force and beauty

Working out till I am completely spent ...

The smell of a baby .. or my grandmother's skin (how I miss that)

Fresh sheets on the bed ..

The remarkable resilience of human nature
