This is only a partial list; I was nearly over whelmed when I started to consider the topics to list. Without a doubt, when you really consider the matter, we all have reason to be happy about those things we love. And I think we should explore the theme a bit more often.
[It even included things I love to hate. I’ll do another hate list later.]
I Love:
2. ~ the smell of coffee in the morning
3. ~ the sound of birds chattering and singing
4. ~ the smell of freshly baked bread, cakes, cookies
5. ~ the sound of water rippling in slow streams
6. ~ the distant sound of thunder
7. ~ the smell of new rain
8. ~ the sight of salmon filled streams
9. ~ the sight of new life in the forest
10. ~ the smell of my spouses hair
11. ~ the smell of dinner cooking at the end of a hard day
12. ~ the feel of silence
14. ~ the camaraderie of friends
15. ~ the convenience and speed of email
16. ~ the sound of well read poetry
17. ~ the sound of classical or high music
18. ~ the quickening pulse of rising excitement
19. ~ the sight of wild animals in their natural state
20. ~ the smell of freshly bathed babies, including my spouse
21. ~ the familiar sounds of my home
22. ~ the raucous noise of happy people
23. ~ the satisfaction of a completed and well done project
24. ~ the inviting gurgling sound of a coffee pot finishing it’s task
25. ~ the cheerful whistle of a tea kettle
26. ~ the smell of my paintings
27. ~ the smell of fresh sawdust and woodchips
28. ~ the sound of my children’s voices
29. ~ the joy of busting a move when no one is looking
30. ~ the full on craziness of singing in the shower
31. ~ the first day of relief after getting over a cold
32. ~ the patient waiting of a cashier while I rush to gather a forgotten item ~ again
34. ~ the random acts of kindness of others
35. ~ the anticipation of new movies or music DVD’s
36. ~ the joy of blogging
37. ~ the delight of reading a well composed article or book
38. ~ the sight of average people doing average things
39. ~ the scream of line spooling off of my fishing reel
40. ~ the pleasure of listening to your spouse crack up at your jokes
41. ~ the fun of feeding the ravens and crows in my neighborhood
42. ~ the satisfaction of being understood
43. ~ the healing power of a simple touch
44. ~ the power of meditation
45. ~ the play of sunlight on my skin
46. ~ the peace of driving in the rain
47. ~ the promise of rainbows
48. ~ the wonder of the northern lights dancing in the heavens
49. ~ the crackle and smell of fall leaves
Well, where’s your list?

And more.....But mine...
1. Singing backup for Binky in the shower - we tear it up.
2. Sharing all my meals and drinks all day with Binky, who also enjoys reading blogs with me.
3. The horrific wrench in my arms and shoulders as the colt gets the better of me...Again...And gets free, and then I get to watch him run.
4. The deep smell of the colt, the denseness of him, he smells and feels so different to the other horses.
5. The big dark eyes and beautiful personalities of all of them and the wonder that I bred them - constructed each characteristic with supreme care and selected the stallion with extreme difficulty
6. The wonder of breeding all animals.
7. Cuddles with Wistapew
8. Cooking
9. gathering wood. It might be hard work but its so relaxing, therapudic....And nothing beats the satisfaction of having a neat wood pile!
9. Snuggles with my lovely cats
10. Mums TV breaking - just because for the first time ever we get to flippantly say - "just buy a new one"
11. Good Luck. When things just fall into place
12. getting black hands from sketching
Im sure Ive got more but this is good for a start. Thanks for that Raven!

6. Sitting on my back yard swing and looking at the garden.
7. Freshly picked fruits and veggies.
8. Trains.
9. Dogs
10. Poetic justice.
11. Poker nights with my kids.
12. Swimming at the lake.
13. Clean jokes.
14. Finishing a commissioned painting.
15. Finishing a novel, so I can start the next one.
16. Watching the first snowflakes falling.
17. Moonlit nights.
18. Desert sunrises.
19. Making the last payment on anything.
20. Blogging.
That should do it. If I write down everything I love, it would take all day! Great idea for a post Raven!

Not a well received topic, but one I thought needed to be put into play. I probably could have hit a hundred items without batting a eye, but a list of things I hate would get more attention, as they have in the past. Odd...
