A list of things I like.. May it always grow!

After a dreary day when everything was going wrong, I realized that there are so many things that I really like but have never actually thought about much. So today I will set down stuff that needs to be documented, if for nothing else just to remind me to enjoy life as it should always be.

The feel of an early morning when there is no work to be done.

The cup of coffee when you are tired and in need of succor.

The smile on your mother's face when you give her a gift she never expected.

The satisfaction of completing your work on time.

A nice stretch at the end of a good nights sleep.

The warm fuzzy feeling on waking up after a good night's dreaming.

A self satisfied smile after reading some of your own good works that make you laugh inwardly.

The memory of good clean water when you dive in.

The push of the waves, those bring you back to the shore. Effortlessly, feels like the hand of god.

The high of good conversation with a dear friend.

The smile in the voice of a friend when you call after a long time.

A good joke in your message inbox.

Setting a new name on the speed dial.

The first morsel of Dal roti after a full days work.

The first morsel of Mom's Dal roti after a full weeks hotel fare.

The first smile on Mom's face when she kisses you after a full week’s absence.

The first smile on your face when you get your first birthday kiss.

The goofy look on your face when you get your first kiss.

The feeling you get when a mobile customer care agent actually solves a problem on your service.

The feeling when you see less than usual on your monthly phone bill.

The feeling you get when you see more than usual on your monthly phone bill and you think back of all the wonderful conversations you had this month.

The feeling of checking your bank account on the tenth of the month and finding that you still have all of your salary left and that you can actually go the ATM and withdraw some money.

An E-mail from a long lost friend, sending me photos of his latest trip to exotic places.

An E-mail from a long forgotten girl friend, thanking me for the things I did.

A kitten rubbing against your leg, when you come back from work.

The same kitten coming running down to greet you when you come out of the lift.

And so much more. Man, it feels good to be alive.
