Natural Highs

I received this list in an email from a friend, read through it and see if any of these give you a "natural high". I have added some of my own thoughts in parentheses.

Falling in love
Laughing so hard your face hurts
A hot shower
No lines at Publix
A special glance
Getting mail (or email!)
Taking a drive on a pretty road
Hearing your favorite song on the radio
Lying in bed and listening to the rain outside
Hot towels fresh out of the dryer
Chocolate, vanilla or strawberry milkshakes
A bubble bath
Giggling
A good conversation
The beach
Finding a $20 bill in your coat from last winter (or your jeans from last week!)
Laughing at yourself
Looking into someones eyes and knowing they love you
Running through sprinklers
Laughing for absolutely no reason at all
Having someone tell you you are beautiful
Laughing at an inside joke with friends
Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you
Waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep
Your first kiss, either the very first one or the first one with a new partner
Making new friends or spending time with old ones
Playing with a new puppy
Having someone play with your hair
Sweet dreams
Hot Chocolate
Road trip with friends
Swinging on swings
Making eye contact with a cute stranger
Making chocolate chip cookies
Holding hands with someone you care about
Running into an old friend and realizing that some things (good or bad) never change
Watching the expression on someones face as they open a much desired present from you
Watching the sunrise
Getting out of bed every morning and being grateful for another beautiful day
Knowing that somebody misses you
Getting a hug from someone you care about deeply
Knowing you have done the right thing no matter what other people think


So here is my challenge for today and this weekend, let's add to this list.

Here is what I would add:

The smell of a newborn baby
Seeing your baby for the very first time
A good cup of coffee
Having someone admire something you have made
Having your child tell you they love you

I am anxious to see what all of you will add to this list.
