  1. Finding a life saving new roll of toilet paper behind you on the flushing tank when your allready sitting on the toilet.

  2. Waking up and finding your little daughter sleeping on your chest…

    During the night when the kids get scared or wake up sometimes they come to our bed and sleep with us and we don’t notice it because we sleep deep. And in the morning finding the little daughter sleeping on top of me is marvelous….

  3. The thrill of finding out that someone you dated at 20 still loves you after 30 years.

    Stepping off the airplane in Phoenix enveloped in the stifling desert heat and knowing you are home.

    The anticipation and excitement of rain and the dance that follows as the first drops fall.

    The smell of the desert after the first monsoon rain.

    The sound of rain hitting metal roofs in the distance and the thrill of knowing my house is next.

  4. The sound made when you open a can of fizzy drink!!

    When someone actually understands the weird thing you are trying to explain to them!!

    The smell of air freshener!!

  5. googling about the info of the actor of the movie which u have just seen… and the happiness u get by knowing more about him/her……..

  6. Finding a $20 bill in an old pair of jeans.

    Having a total stranger tap you on the shoulder and give you the dollar bill you just dropped onto a New York City sidewalk.

    The northern lights on a cold winter night.

  7. Going to the mall on Dec 24th,pulling into the packed parking lot just as the best spot becomes available and its yours.

  8. The hilarious and gloriously awkward moment when you try to get around a person going the opposite direction. Both of you go the same way, then both switch ways to let the other person pass. Finally, you look at the person, share a laugh, and walk around each other.

    Those songs that are so bad they’re good.

    Moments with friends that were incredibly funny and completely nonsensical.

    Using fancy words in everyday conversation and having other people understand you.

    Days when, despite everything that went wrong, you still feel like you had a beautiful day.

    Quotes that really strike you.

  9. Hi Neil, Just saw your speech on TED. Loved it. Just wanted to let you know that it helped me immensely at a time when i was feeling not-so-good. God bless you. Keep going. Cheers!

  10. Successfully pulling a double ender(puking/pooping simultaneously) without spilling anything out of the bowl. Takes some crazy 360 degree skillz but I’ve pulled it off.
    Thank you, Mexico.

  11. Spending all day parked in a parking garage, and serendipitously leaving right when the parking attendant cashier person takes a break, is an awesome experience! The first time I saw that barrier gate arm up I felt like I had won the lottery. Even after spending $100 shopping, there is something really awesome about saving $3.00 on parking.

  12. Realizing it’s going to be okay. When you’ve been dumped, or had to leave someone you love; when someone you love dies or hurts you like you never thought possible; when what you’ve based your life on is taken away from you and you’ll never get it back- there’s always a moment of clarity where you realize it’s going to be okay, that sometime in the future it will hurt a little less, and the clouds will move on and the weight won’t be on your shoulders forever. You’re going to be okay because you’re worthwhile and life has more in store for you than the troubles youre facing right now, and that, my friends, is AWESOME!

  13. Getting in the right side of the backseat of the car, INSTEAD of hearing, “No, get in the other side. I have stuff on that side.” You picked the right door!! Awesome!!
