These Things

Big, bright, open blue skies

Shadowy, mysterious, dense woods

Complicated, multi step, delicate creations

Loud, fast, up beat music

Strong winds through open windows

Long, curvy roads, through scenic passes

The sound of children's laughter

An elderly couple holding hands

The smell of an old, worn, well read book

A chocolate chip cookie, slightly under baked, fresh from the oven

The waddle of a duck

The head tilt and ear raise of a dog

Rain pouring down on a car roof

A complete stranger holding the door open for someone else

First kisses, hello kisses, I want you kisses, and good bye kisses

Unspoken understanding found when your eyes meet and you're both thinking the same thing

Good Morning Texts

Good Night Texts

Kissy face emojis

Being pulled closer and held tightly in the middle of the night

Positive Freudian Slips

A hug that feels like home

Cold ocean breezes

High, rocky mountains topped with snow

Getting completely lost in a book

Dancing alone in an empty house

The feeling of freshly clean floors on bare feet

Overcast skies just before a storm

Hand picked garden flowers, just because

These things, while relatively simple, are all things that cause happiness.

At least for me.
