I got this from my niece. Think about each "natural high" before going onto the next.

1. Falling in love.
2. Laughing so hard your face hurts.
3. A hot shower.
4. No lines at the supermarket.
5. A special glance.
6. Getting mail.
7. Taking a drive on a pretty road.
8. Hearing your favorite song on the radio.
9. Lying in bed listening to the rain outside.
10. Hot towels fresh out of the dryer.
11. Chocolate milkshake (or vanilla or strawberry...).
12. A bubble bath.
13. Giggling with friends.
14. A good conversation.
15. The beach.
16. Finding a $20 bill in your coat from last year.
17. Laughing at yourself.
18. Looking into someone's eyes and knowing he (or she) loves you.
19. Midnight phone calls that last for hours.
20. Running through sprinklers.
21. Laughing for absolutely no reason at all.
22. Having someone tell you you're beautiful.
23. Laughing at an inside joke.
24. Friends.
25. Accidentally overhearing someone saying something nice about you.
26. Waking up and realizing you still have a few more hours to sleep.
27. Your first kiss.
28. Making new friends or spending time with old ones.
29. Playing with a new puppy.
30. Having someone play with your hair.
31. Sweet dreams.
32. Hot chocolate. (Heck, chocolate of any kind!)
33. Road trip with friends.
34. Swinging on swings.
35. Making eye contact with a cute stranger.
36. Making chocolate chip cookies. (Eating chocolate chip cookies is better!)
37. Having your friends send you homemade cookies.
38. Holding hands with someone you care about.
39. Running into an old friend and realizing that some things (good or bad) never change.
40. Watching the expression on someone's face while they open a much-desired gift from you.
41. Watching the sun rise (or set).
42. Getting out of bed every morning and being grateful for another beautiful day.
43. Knowing that someone misses you.
44. Getting a hug from someone you care about deeply.
45. Knowing you've done the right thing, no matter what other people think.

And a few more of my own:

46. Hearing a baby's laugh.
47. Having readers be excited to "see" you on a readers loop.
48. Signing a book contract.
49. Getting a rejection letter that invites you to revise and resubmit, and submit anything else you might have.
50. Receiving a great review on your book.


What about you? What can you add to the list?
