When I point out something I like in a shop and forget about it and days later my husband surprises me with it.

Haha! I love the Golden Girls too! Sophia is my favorite character. Her spunk is just humorous!

Anyway, small things eh? Well...the small things that make me feel happy are:

1. My diary(ies);
2. Local cemeteries;
3. My favorite Music;
4. Swingsets;
5. Wildlife.

That being said, the big things I'm grateful for are my boyfriend (and my girlfriend), my f(r)iends, pets, my favorite Musicians, and my physical health.

When I point out something I like in a shop and forget about it and days later my husband surprises me with it

That's so sweet. I point out things to my husband over the year that I like and he always ends up asking me on my birthday or Christmas what I want. What I would want is to be surprised like you are. It's hard for me, I think, because I always listen to what people say over the year in regards to things they like and like to surprise them with it. I guess I just assume everyone is like that.

Once again, your husband is a very thoughtful, sweet man. But I'm sure I don't have to tell you that.

Local cemeteries

I do this and take pictures of headstones for people who are far away and request them. Haven't done it in awhile because of my depression, but I hope to get back to it. I actually enjoy it. Though, I'm worried sometimes that one of my son's friends will see me walking the cemetery with a camera and wonder about their "crazy" mother. :roflmao:

I use to do that growing up. I think I stopped when my illness started acting up. Heat is bad for me and can cause me to pass out. Kind of a deterrent. My eldest son does this now. He actually likes the tub to fill up with the shower going. :) Drives my husband crazy, but I get it.

Doing things that make my life better for myself.

A man walking past the office window. He was doing a little dance and singing 'Oscars going to have his hair cut, Oscars going to have his hair cut, Oscars going to have his hair cut, Oscars going to have his hair cut' well you get the idea, to his little boy.

It just made me smile.

Walking down country lanes and kicking the leaves.

The ground crunching under my feet whilst walking the dogs. Lovely after all of the rain and mud.
