  3. When you finally remember the fastest part of a song.

  7. I’m a mad LEGO fan, so how about:

    You’re searching and searching for that tiny piece. The brick you search for always seems to elude you, until…you see it, at the bottom of the oversize Tupperware container you keep your collection in. You reach in, pinch it between two fingers, and draw it out! Triumphant, you place it on whatever you’re building, and go back to looking for more bricks.

  8. Reading a few pages of 1000 Awesome Things Book to my 10 year old son every night before bed and watching him go to bed smiling.

Taking the precious pieces with you on MANY relocation b/c in your heart you felt they were pricelessly sentimental no matter what others may say…then one day walking into an antique store and seeing that several of your under $5.00 pieces are priced at $150+, and you’ve learned you can pat yourself on the back and you do… Awesome!
