Inventory of awesome things

Once I decided to keep a record of awesome things, a bunch of "ATs" ran through my head. So here is the list, in no particular order, so I don't forget about them, and I hope to expand on them at a later time.

1. Spending a few hours at a bookstore and sometimes finding a good book

2. Someone offers a ride just before a thunderstorm hits (happened today!)

3. Getting a great idea

4. Solving mathematical problems

5. Sitting at a random location (or in a car) with a friend I haven't seen in a while and chatting for hours

6. Writing in my journal

7. Going for a walk or hike on a not-too-warm sunny day

8. A long swim

9. Warm clothes out of the dryer in the winter

10. Hearing a song or reading something that puts a positive spin to my current state of mind ("Smile" by Charlie Chaplin, covered by the cast of Glee comes to mind)

11. Getting personal mail

12. Green blog backgrounds

13. Snuggling with someone special

14. A nice bottle of cheap wine

15. When someone offers his/her grocery cart

16. Waking up just before my alarm so I have time to say a prayer before starting my day

17. Helping someone

18. Using Google Street View to "walk" around where I grew up

19. Looking at photos of my cousins' and friends' children doing cute things

20. When someone says they appreciate me for something little and I realize small things can make a big difference

21. Taking a shower during the day

22. When staples go through all the pages to be stapled

Just writing this list is putting a smile on my face :)
