The smell of lilacs in bloom
The sound of the waves crashing outside of my apartment window
When my lover takes my hand while we're walking
A beautiful sunrise over the ocean
Sitting on a bench in the sun on Stephen's Green watching people walk by
The innocence of children

They're good ones

I'll also add;

An unexpected call during a bad day from someone ringing just to see how your days going/how you are. That always cheers me up.

And my dogs.

This thread has made me realise that I smile about nothing

I cant remember the last time in fact. The only thing that makes my mouth go upwards is a comedy film or joke or something. Surely I'm not alone here? Or am I just emotionally broken?

Ah, you old Vulcan you...

5.Fresh brown bread with marmalade.

Really Good freinds, that just get me.
Fuc|<ing eejits, and being glad I amn't one of them.
Working at my own leisure.
Achieving my goals, or just passing exams etc.
That Gorgeous Wonderful Man of Mine.

When you listen to an album you haven't listened to in a while and it reminds you completely of the time in your life back when you were listening to it.
Golf in the summer. And watching the masters or other tournie on a sunday in the summer.
