if more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world

What are some small things that make your day better?

• I'm not a morning person, as most people know. That being said, I love good morning texts (or even wake-up texts) from the right person.      (If you're wondering if you're the right person: it's not you.)
• I love cereal. Breakfast meat. Pastry. Tea and fruit juice. Pancakes, oatmeal, waffles. Scrambled eggs, crepes, French toast. Eating in the morning (or morning food at other times)...it is the finest meal of the day.
• Flowers and plants. Flowering plants.
• A quiet day, with no phone calls at work, is a day to be praised.
• Technology that works the way it's supposed to.
• Waves (or gestures, or face-making) from friends as they walk or drive by.
• Bunnies (or squirrels) in the yard.
