small pleasures


there are some small things that, when they happen, make me smile
a soft, light satisfaction
a quick thought "that was nice" or a secret "hoorah!"
some of those things happened this week:


they are:

being in back of an elevator full of men,  they part to let me exit first
"that was nice"

a forgotten coupon for a free iced coffee
"hoorah!"

public bathrooms make me feel dirty, even when they are very clean
but sometimes at work in the morning, you can tell that it has just been clean and the toliet seat is up and you know that all the germs are gone
"hoorah!"


i come home and a bunny greets me
it's probably because he is hungry, but it's still nice
"that was nice"


after fighting traffic to get somehwere, i pull into a kick ass parking space
"hoorah!"

an unexpected invitation out
"hoorah!"

after a long day, a friend being really happy to see you so all your stress melts away
"that was nice"

what about you?

Doris Day parking is always the best, especially when I get home from work and I have to pee REALLY bad.

"HOORAH!"

I love a good voicemail or funny random text from a friend.

"HOORAH!"

Starbucks gift cards as bribes from vendors.

"HOORAH!"
