What brings you joy?

I could write for pages and pages on this topic. There are so many things, big and small, that can brighten my day. :]

making new friends, first kisses, being someone's first choice, memories that make you smile, cuddling, knowing someone trusts you, having high expectations for something that ends up exceeding them, watching sunsets, tickle fights, roasting marshmallows, telling stories, reunions, being a good friend, a shower after a long day, being someone's inspiration, watching snowflakes fall from a window, laughing until you can't breathe, learning from past mistakes, affection, playing in a ball pit, making daisy chains, being pushed gently on a swing, cute underwear, tickets to a concert you really want to see, crossing something off a list, running on springboard, coming back home for the first time in a long while, cracking your back, unexpected generosity, editing grammatical errors, knowing you can count on someone, scrapbooking, not being let down, spending time with old friends, bubble baths, having a puppy curled up in your lap, dancing in the moonlight, blue roses, having your cat keep you warm by sleeping on you at night, knowing you did really well on a performance watching sunrises, candid photos, the familiarity of your touch, setting records, learning a new dance and not messing up, giving back, lending a shoulder to cry on, long talks with old friends, holding hands, beautiful photography, getting to know someone, hearing a song you love on the radio, not letting others down, knowing that someone misses you, driving for miles on the highway singing songs you love, knowing that someone has faith in you, riding in shopping carts, finding and meeting great people, finding great deals, hugs from behind, long late-night conversations, seesaws, water parks, poems written for me, horseback riding, being serenaded, kisses on the neck, lying under the stars, archery, saving money, finding something you've been looking for, hula, amusing voicemail messages, getting someone for someone who's wanted it for a long time, riding on the back of a pickup truck, surprise visits from friends, chasing after childhood dreams, first loves, blowing dandelions into the wind, gentle breezes on sunny days, learning new things, making someone smile, recovering from illnesses, making a difference, snowball fights, compliments, singing, tahitian dancing, fun traditions, jumping on trampolines, taking walks and sipping iced coffee on summer nights, walking around barefoot, cracking your toes, winning bets, speeding, feeling (and being) free, warm beds on cold nights, waking up next to someone, getting things done, singing along to songs, apple fantasy, having someone who can relate, slow dancing, getting a day off, clean clothes fresh from the laundry, cool beds on warm nights, putting a song you love on repeat, forehead kisses while cuddling, blasting music while driving down a long stretch of freeway, friendly strangers, second chances, baking cookies, satisfying a food craving, being someone's inspiration, answered prayers, reading a good piece of writing, long long hugs, witnessing miracles, getting good grades, discovering new interests and/or talents, lying in a hammock on a hot summer day sipping ice-cold lemonade, water fights, proving someone wrong (possibly out of spite), accomplishments, knowing that someone trusts you, splashing in puddles, taking chances, living with no regrets, talking to my cat on the phone, knowing that someone loves you, every time you look at me that way, sleeping in, overcoming fears, noticing the little things, summer flings, running through sprinklers, seeing someone close after a long period of absence, knowing you chose to do the right thing, walking together at night, sweet dreams, funny notes, waking up and finding out you still have several more hours to sleep, being told that you look nice, finally getting it right.

I like making lists. :] Can you tell?
