Natural Highs

Natural Highs

This little list has circulated the net via email for several years. It never fails to make me feel good, or bring a smile to my face. I hope this random list does the same for you.

Getting mail
A hot shower
Walking in the rain
Laughing so hard your face hurts
Lying in bed listening to the rain outside
Riding your bike or driving your car and going nowhere
Hot towels out of the dryer
A long distance phone call
A good conversation
Getting email
Lying on the roof looking at the stars
Hearing your favourite song on the radio
Laughing yourself silly over a really stupid film
Being the recipient of unconditional love
Jumping in piles of leaves
Falling in love
Having someone sleep in your arms
Receiving an unexpected care package
Chocolate milkshakes and cherry cokes
Finding a $20 bill in your coat pocket from last winter
Lying on the beach with nothing better to do
Midnight phone calls that last for hours
Riding your bike on a cool, autumn day
Giggling or grinning way too hard
Running through sprinklers
Laughing at yourself
Friends
Getting a new baby kitten
Receiving an unexpected present
The smell of coffee early in the morning
Giving someone a gift for no particular reason
Having someone tell you that you're beautiful or handsome
Accidentally overhearing someone say
something nice about you

Waking up and realising you still have a few hours left to sleep
Finding the sweater you want is on sale for half price
Grinning until your cheeks hurt
Walking out of your last final
Slumber parties
Getting invited to a dance
Telling really stupid jokes
Converse Hi-tops
Seagulls crying
A bubble bath
The smell of freshly-mown grass
Falling in love for the first time
Sharing ghost stories with the lights off
Laughing for absolutely no reason at all
Making new friends or spending time with old ones
The way the air smells just before it rains
A new puppy with puppy breath
Laughing at an inside joke
The roar of the ocean
Pink bunny slippers
Your first kiss
Dark chocolate
Sweet dreams
Swinging on swings
Letting someone hold you
Road trips with friends
Eating ice cream in December
Having someone play with your hair
Riding a merry-go-round at any age
Getting stuck on top of the ferris wheel
Hawaiian shirts with real coconut buttons
Hot chocolate, with or without marshmallows
Late night talks with a friend that keep you from sleeping
Finding the perfect song to use on your mobile
Wrapping presents under the Christmas tree
whilst eating cookies and drinking eggnog
Song lyrics printed inside your new CD so you can
sing along without feeling stupid

Having your friends send you homemade goodies
Winning a game with your friends
Going to a really good concert
Eating an entire tube of Jaffa Cakes
The feeling you get the first time you get on stage
Spending time with close friends in your own special place
Wearing your partner's shirt that still smells like them
Seeing smiles and hearing laughter from your friends
Holding hands with someone you care about
Discovering that real love is unconditional
and stronger than time

Running into an old friend and realising that some things
(good or bad) never change
Watching the expression on someone's face as they
open a present from you

Getting out of bed every morning thankful
for another beautiful day
A kiss on the forehead from someone
who really cares about you

The warm glow of candles, especially blue ones
Riding the best roller coasters over and over
Hugging the person you love
Seeing a shooting star
Watching the moonrise
Watching the sunset
