Just Keep Smiling

Stargazing. Being greeted by dogs. Getting a just the right phone call from just the right person at just the right time. When you realize you're reading someone's mind, or they're reading yours. Inside jokes. When someone quotes something that you love. When someone recognizes a quote you use. An extraordinary cup of coffee. A compliment. Physical contact. Being reminded that you are loved. Getting a present. The Marx Brothers. A great voice. Being recognized. Mattering to someone. Doing something nice for someone else. Feeling like someone is taking care of you. Getting mail. Sending mail. Finding something you lost, or thought you lost. Warmth. Seeing people who are really in love. Remembering. Sleeping, finally making it to bed after a long day. Feeling accepted and loved by anyone, anywhere. Looking at pictures. Being appreciated. A hug. Hearing a song that brings back happy memories. When a smell reminds you of something, or someone. Knowing just what to do for someone to lighten their load. Realizing that your family is important. Looking at the big picture. Having someone say they'll always be there and then they always are. Flowers. Undying love that overwhelms. Being young. Being alive.
