It's the little things

I spent today appreciating the little things in life. In order to help you all love life a little more, I have come up with a list - things that make life a little better just because they exist. You're welcome.

1. Skype
Seriously, it's the best thing since buttered toast. I know, I never thought something would come along that could compete with buttered toast, either, but that day has finally come.
We skyped (can skype be used as a verb?) with Markie and Tucker last night and it was awesome. We got to see Markie's dorm and meet her roommates and watch everyone's facial expressions. Haha. So much better than that old school telephone idea.

2.Breathtaking Views
This is where I work now (the shorter ovalish building in the middle)
The view from the lobby looks like this
Ok so it doesn't look exactly like that, but it's still pretty spectacular. My job is as boring as ever, but the occasional glimpse outside definitely makes it a lot more bearable.

3. Orange trees
I was riding my bike this evening, and as I got closer to the orange grove, the air got at least 5 degrees cooler and it smelled summery - like orange blossoms but a little less sweet. Heavenly.

4. Eating PB&J with a spoonSometimes the bread just gets in the way. You probably think I'm weird, but I promise, it's better than in sounds. Seriously, try it. Yummm.

5. The song "You Got Me" by Colbie Cailat
It's on my playlist to the right in case you want to listen to it right now - which you should because it will make you happy. :)

Your turn! What little thing did you appreciate today?
