Brown paper packages tied up with string...

Okay, not quite. However, I took these past few days to recognize the little things in my life that really make my heart sing. They include:


1. Packages of any kind and hand written sentiments in general.


2. Finding new Puerto Rican food in the bay area unexpectedly that isn't incredibly over-priced or ultra super pretentious. And painted my ultra super favorite color.

3. Also unexpectedly finding a Vince Guaraldi Trio CD used for $3.99 next door to listen to on the way home.


4. Mr. Darcy :swoon:


5. Getting a call from my parents on their holiday to Argentina for their 30th anniversary after just arriving to Iguazu to say they wish I was there to write their story.


6. Getting a pat on the back/high five while on the BART wearing my Americorps shirt.


7. Sharing a Blue Moon with a HUGE slice of orange with an old friend.


8. Opening a savings account and (if I calculated correctly)realizing I may have enough money to make Italy and Greece a possibility this coming summer. 


9. The sound of train horns in the distance.


10. Coming home to a room with a made bed and that smells of clean, folded laundry. 


11. Google Chrome. Even if is on my poor excuse of a wanna-be laptop HP mini :grumble:.
