Raindrops on roses...

The weather here at the moment is pretty terrible. By terrible I mean raining ALL day, and cold with it. Not the kind of weather I want to wake up to on an April Morning.... Especially not that Easter is over.
Surely there is a rule that says rain after Easter should only occur at night to make sure that plants are still watered etc?

As well as bad weather the news is nearly all bad. Recession, the economy is failing (we know!), strikes, job losses, and murders.
I don't know about anyone else, but I have been thinking about things that make me happy to try to counter the gloom! Or at least put a temporary smile on my face.
I would be interested in hearing your thoughts
These are a few of my raindrops on roses...

1: Mr. C
2: my family, and realising that they will always be there for me
3: my lovely friends
4: baking a cake that looks like it is meant to. And tastes like it is meant to!
5: walking on the beach, with my dogs, with Mr. C, on my own. Barefoot.
6: running in the rain. and not caring if I get wet.
7: hearing a really hearty laugh. from anyone.
8: a really hot, soya latte, sitting in a park barefoot not worrying about getting back to the office in time
9: listening to music that I haven't heard in a while and remembering when I heard it first. And remembering what I was doing when I heard it.
10: taking a good photo, and having it forever. Capturing a moment!
11: planning my new kitchen (this could change depending on how stressful it becomes!!)
12: Electric Picnic with Hellers, peddling vodka tonic's and foot shaped biccies on anyone who passed.
13: being 29. and not worrying about what comes next. (this could also change as I get closer to 30!)
14: a good , cheap meal surrounded by friends, a few beers, a guitar and a sense of enjoying the moment.

These are in no particular order. They just jumped into my head.
I hope that you can add to these or write your own list. Keep it somewhere handy. Have a look at it when you need a little lift.
