Hershey Kisses

Hershey Kisses make me happy. They're delicious, just the right amount of chocolate for a little pick-me-up and perfect for sharing with friends.

Heated Walkways

These are not exactly energy efficient, but I love when it's really cold out to walk by a fancy hotel and pass under their heated walkway. Even if it only warms you up for 2.5 seconds, that brief time is still so lovely. I bet the doormen see people smiling all the time because of it. And also walking slowly to get as much warmth out of it as possible.

Giving Thanks

As a vegetarian, Thanksgiving isn't high on my list of favorite holidays, but one thing I do love is going around the table and hearing what people are thankful for. I know it sounds cheesy, but it's really nice to take a minute and think about all the good in your life.

I Like Your Jacket

ilikeyourjacket.com is a website dedicated to giving compliments. Some of them are fairly specific like, "How do you get your hair to look that great?" or "You have the best laugh ever." Others are more general in what they are complimenting: "You're #1 in my book!" and "You're tremendous!" Either way, it's a pretty nice website to visit when you're having a tough day. You can even submit your own compliment. I'm waiting to see if mine pops up some day. That will definitely make me happy.

Walking by Dryer Vents

I love when I'm outside walking, especially if it is a slightly chilly evening, and passing by a vent for a dryer in use. I guess I just like the smell of clean laundry, and it's such a little welcome surprise to find that smell outside.
