little things

I think the big things are what blogs are about.
All those stories and moments that stand out above everything else.

A forum I post on had a thread about all the little things today.
It made me really happy to read all the things people said and have those "oh yeah moments"
This list is mostly mine - but I stole a couple...

the first day of winter - the one that pulls the breath out of your chest
the smell of fresh cut grass
towels fresh out of the dryer
snail mail & packages
hearing a song you love - after you forgot about it
the sound of rain
uncertainty & butterflies
high fives & secret handshakes
long conversations
old photo albums
a good beer
10 consecutive cracks of all my knuckles
hard copies of cds with good art
stories from strangers
traveling for music 
the common thread at a concert
laughing so hard i cry
waking up to realize you still have hours to sleep
the rush of meeting someone in an airport
learning and growing and realizing it
when a song matches exactly how you feel
driving with the windows down
big sunglasses
thrift stores & estate sales
finishing each-others sentences
chick flick marathons with tough girls
bookstores, books, stories, words
my grandma singing
good tattoos, funny tattoos, tattoos that tell stories
making memories - realizing you wont forget this moment.

  1. you forgot: crushes, finners and etsy.

    I love that you have big sunglasses - so true, small ones just won't do.

  2. driving to concerts,
    fresh cut grass,
    snail mail (that isn't a bill),
    thrift stores,
    old photo albums

    those are all a big sigh and a smile.
