One of my favorite things about the movie Amèlie is how in the beginning, the narrator introduces the characters by listing their little quirks that give them this goofy feeling of satisfaction and joy. I've began to compile my own list of these things that are out-of-the-ordinary but I've noticed that always make me smile. (I feel I should share this considering the title and overall theme of my blog. Disclaimer: yes this may be cheesy, but just embrace it, please... for your happiness).
LES PETITE BONHEURS (in french, little happinesses)
- Fun mirrors
- window boxes
- crushed ice
- the smell of baking
- black licorice
- squishy lips
- glittery concrete sidewalks
- old people holding hands
- church bells
- warm towels (this can go on everyone's list...)
- de-linting the dryer
- wild flowers in spring
(And a couple of pet peeves that make me laugh... Taking off a hoodie with a head hole that's too small (ouch) and fitting bowls into the dishwasher. Thought I'd balance it out, but still these things that irk me I find funny)
