It's funny how our lists don't include any materialistic things in life.

THE LAUGHTER OF CHILDREN
THE SUN
MY DOG
CHOCOLATE
COFFEE
A GOOD BOOK

Laughing

seeing something rare
my friends
getting no homework assigned (unfortunately this only happens once in a blue moon, or I'd have more time to answer your question)

Mine are;
--seeing my puppy happy
--favorite songs
--favorite movies
--getting good grades in school
--getting compliments
--deep comversations, like you said, are really great and make me feel... idk, alive, or something... i don't know how to explain it
--the ocean; i love ocean waves and i love the ocean; it's just so majestic and mysterious and just plain amazing
--hearing accents; they are freaking awesome!
--having a simple crush on someone
--laughing with friends

I'm sure there are more, but that's all i can think of off the top of my head...

WOW, Mc, I see you are wise beyond your years. To enjoy the simple things in life is what keeps us young, as can be seen by the responses you have gotten.I have enjoyed reading all of them, so that is a whole lot of simple things I have got to enjoy by reading others "simple enjoyments".. And sitting here in total silence( except for my grandfather clock chiming and the crackle of my wood burning fireplace) while I reflect on all those responses I am alone but I feel closer to my GOD at the same time as I glance around at pictures of my family and friends on the wall and hear my old dog's breathing as he sleeps near the fire. And all is right in the world right now.

A hug from anybody, but especially my family.

Being silly and stupid and just goofing off.

A phone call to or from a friend.

Watching my young child share the magic of dandelion tufts with the other kids at the playground: she collected several, made me drive home in a non-AC car with the windows rolled up so the tufts wouldn't blow away, took them to the playground, gathered several kids, and taught them to make a wish and blow the tufts off the dandelion.

The sigh of sleeping child.

The twinkle in my husband's eyes when he tells me he loves me.

Talking with any of my many siblings.

Giving a smile to everyone I meet (especially gratifying if that person didn't have a smile of their own).

Knowing I am doing all I can to make a better life right now and preparing my children for a great future.

The sound of the water at a lake shore lapping against the bank.

The sleepy smile I get from my girls when I wake them up in the morning.

Wow, great question!
