Hearing the words "I love you" from my 2 year old neice, unprompted, for the first time.
Jumping in puddles with my 4 year old nephew.
Jumping in puddles with my 18 year old friends.
Acting like a kid, because, let's face it, you only get one chance at that.
Seeing someone you used to have a crush on with his gf, and realising that she's a minger :]

Hearing one of your old favourite songs on the radio [or wherever!]
Friends is about swapping shoes when their feet are bleeding.... I do that, and more, cause my friends are the best, and as self-centered as it sounds, I don't know what would happen to them if I killed myself. and for that, I'm fighting.

Right.. posting in here because I'm having a bit of a pity party tonight, and I need to see good things in my life written (typed) down.
The fact that I managed to do 2 attic sales, despite it only being a couple of hours, and me being terrified.
Taking some old stuff up to the local green community shop. This is a huge huge deal. I have OCD which as part of its' nastiness takes over the rationality about getting rid of absolutely anything. I think knowing that it will be used again helps. And I got me some nice new books into the bargain.
Getting out to aforementioned shop, and discovering some really lovely gentle friendly folk who have invited me to join in the textiles group.
Listening to my son when he's learnt a new word.
Seeing the snowdrops in their little pots outside my front door.

- The look on my boyfriends face when he sees me after i've left a little note for him telling him how much i love him and how much he means to me... His face just expresses so much love and adoration (is that even a word?) and he looks so happy to see me.
- Going to meet Paul from work and gettin there half an hour early so i can catch up on gossip and gloat that i don't have to work that day!
- The assistant manager at work saying she loved mine and Russell's anouncement over the PA system about Harry Potter book reservations, when it was only a dare, and was so cheesy we thought we'd get in trouble for it!!
- Pauls nephew being able to go home a month before he was even meant to be born
- How much Paul loves Topaxi, and the way he defends him like he's his gecko when people say geckos are pointless etc etc, and the way any time Topaxi is out and about he gives him a kiss on his back
- My housemates. Sittin in of an evening with them watching crap telly and shouting abuse at it! We are so different but get on so well together
- The way my housemates have embraced ethical food, recycling and reusing stuff and not wasting food and water. I'm a pain in the arse housemate, but they accept that and want to help save the world too
- My cat remembering me everytime i go to my parents house, and the way she sticks to me like glue the whole time i'm there
- My parents dogs loving coming to Leeds to see me. Apparently they get really excited and whine and get overly excited in the car on the way over

Getting a call from nowhere asking how you are, especially from someone you just met
Having an old ex listen as you break down, and not getting crap about it
Being out of school, but still hearing all the gossip from friends that are still enrolled
Having an old friend invite you to just sit on his couch for a night and chill when you really need to just relax somewhere safe
Walking a mile to drop something off for your littlest sister at her school that she left at home, and getting to see her in the middle of the day (she's a doll)

My husband sent me a text saying we have a faborable situation. This makes me happy for two reasons. I love it when he makes the effort to use English, he has just started classes and he is getting quite good and also it might mean he won't be called back into the army, but to know that for sure I have to wait for the email that he'll send later.
