Yes, I love it when:
I raise an eyebrow and not a snicker
I create a smile from a frown
my shoulder becomes a pillow
My car starts on -10° mornings
I get an unsolicited "Thank You" for a nice job
I finish a good book
A friend says "yes" whatever the occasion
A friend calls, just to say "Hi"
My blood tests come back negative
My family or close friends says "I love you" and means it
A warm embrace to a loved one is returned without asking
I love it when there are too many things to list when I love it...

I love it when it's the moment 'just before.'

When the lights go down but the band has not gone on.
When the teams are lined up, but the whistle has not blown.
When I have my blue book out, my pen in hand, but not the test questions.

I love that moment.

I am the only swimmer, swimming up and down the pool and there is a light rain on the surface of the pool.

I realize my life's journey is not complete and there is more to do.

I'm able to help someone with a problem.

I get compliments from friends, colleagues, family and especially from my boyfriend.

I snuggle up to my boyfriend before I go to sleep at night.

Kind regards

I wake up and realise that I'm still here and I'm snuggled in my lovers arms.
I can give someone an unexpected present.
Someone tells me I'm still pretty at 50.
I can help someone else solve a problem.
I see a man (or woman) looking at me with "that" look and I know they are "interested".
The sun shines and I can go swimming in my private pool.
Someone likes one of my stories.
I realise that I made it!

I get a good cup of tea (so worth all the mediocre ones)

A song comes on the radio I like and I get overexcited and start yelling to my friends, "I actually like this one".

When bellies ache from laughing.

When I take my boots off at the end of the day.

I see or hear something in a different way to usual.

I don't realise I'm singing a Damned song at top volume.

I lay half dreaming.

I see the moon.

The sun warms a patch of skin when the rest is cold.

~My friends hug me or lean against me or hold my hand unexpectedly.
~I realise that, today, I have nothing I need to do.
~I get excited about possibilities and foreign lands I will visit in the future and start working towards that goal (yay languages!)
~I find a new thing that makes me laugh hysterically
~The world outside suddenly turns into a thunderstorm and I run outside
~A stranger compliments the 'do!
~I go to my tiny local cinema or the restaurant next to it and it's still remained unchanged since my childhood/the 1960s.  :D

-I actually get enough sleep during the night
-I hear about a sequel or spin-off of an epic game (Resident Evil, Phoenix Wright, ect)
-When people actually consider what I've said to be useful
-I come up with a witty joke seemingly out of nowhere and people around me laugh

And ultimately...

When my brother asks me a question where I have the opportunity to give a useful answer ;D He asked me once to translate something from Spanish to English since he knew I was studying the language. Even though I couldn't translate it, it complimented me so much that he asked

This too, lol

I'm beginning to really enjoy all the children around the school (not just in my class) who say hello to me as I walk around - all the adults too - a feeling of belonging in a community.

I'm also enjoying the kids in my class pleading with me to go on an adventure activity with them...I spose I am just a whore for being wanted.

I love it when I realise "it's not a dream, it's real, it's real, it's real at last & everything is now worth it".

...I wake up much earlier than my room mate and have the whole house to myself for a couple of hours

I can stand in the shower, with the water dancing around my skin, sending vibrations all over my body. I put my hands up to my neck, close my eyes and imagine that, what is there, is shaped for the love I have, rather than the agression I feel.

I love it when... I feel so good I laugh spontaneously! :D
