Reasons to Be Cheerful

I enjoyed Canary Knits' list so much, I thought I'd like to make one of my own (and because several of her items are also on my list):

• getting coffee in bed (apparently not every husband delivers coffee to his wife in bed...that makes me pretty darned lucky, and definitely cheerful (once I get that caffeine into me!)
• cooking books, mainly Joy of Cooking and Food to Die For (which has the absolute best pizza dough recipe EVER)
• perfectly cooked pasta
• polite, well-behaved children (although those are a rare breed)
• photo albums
• thunderstorms (complete with lightening that brightens up the whole sky!); what a perfect time to curl up with a great book
• art supply stores
• pretty notebooks and journals
• pen pals
• yarn... lots and lots of different yarn
• beautiful fabric... lots and lots of different fabric
• book stores
• libraries
• cats that like to snuggle
• being able to hang laundry out on the line
• bird song in spring
• spring flowers emerging from still partially frozen earth
• cheesecake!
• favourite magazines
• watching movies with my kids
• the colour yellow
• flowering house plants

Oh, and how is this for a tease? We passed this sign this past weekend on the way to Moncton where hubby attended the Fly Fishing Forum. And me on a yarn diet. Damn.
