--coffee
--knowing how tough it was to manage to do something effective... & knowing that you did it regardless
--cats
--invitations... even if it's something or someone that you don't want to deal with... knowing that you were invited to do it
--vaguely getting across to teacher that lack of attendance isn't due to apathy but 'issues with other things'... & having the teacher care enough to ask whether or not there's anything he can do to help
--knowing that whether or not i can understand it... whether or not i believe the same... people believe in me...

* Getting post/text messages/phone calls when you don't expect them.
* Making someone smile and seeing them happy.
* Spur of the moment fun stuff.
* Cornflakes when you first put the milk on them and they are still crispy.
