"You know what grinds my gears...?"

Ok, first of all, this picture just makes me really happy about life.

Second of all,  if you have been around me long enough you've probably heard me say, "You know what grinds my gears...?" and then I'll go on to tell you something that I hate. It's usually something like "I hate when someone doesn't refill the toilet paper when it's all out." or "I hate when people enter through the left door rather than the right door." Weird things like that. They are usually light hearted comments, but I have started to feel like I constantly talk about things that grind my gears. So here is a list of things that smooth my gears, I guess you could say.

In light of this photograph, swinging REALLY high on a swing set and then jumping off
Pushing yourself so hard while running that you kind of want to throw up
Going the speed limit on the freeway before you see a cop so you don't panic
Learning new words
School house rock videos
Not setting your marshmallow on fire, but perfectly browning it
That moment of silence right after a group of people sing worship music
Wind while your running
Brushing your teeth anywhere but the bathroom
Trying other people shampoos, conditioners, and soaps while you're at their house
Arriving at your destination right as a great song ends
Sitting next to someone who knows how to harmonize while singing
Hitting a bunch of green lights in a row
Runaway truck ramps
Getting the piece of popcorn out of your teeth that's been there all day
Getting an eyelash our of your eye
Excuses to dress up
When someone else folds your laundry for you
Living with people who don't mind killing cockroaches or spiders
Sleeping in clean sheets
Picking your nose
Blowing your nose in the shower
Locking people out of the car and pretending to drive away
Hiding and scaring people
The first shower after not showering for a while
Being the first person in a movie theater before it gets really packed
Sneezing multiple times in a row
Hearing new music and automatically becoming obsessed
Not ordering fries and then eating everyone elses
The material of old T-shirts
Eating cookies like cookie monster
Peeing your pants from laughing so hard
Perfect parallel parking on the first try
Grocery shopping while hungry
First scoop of ice cream from a new carton
Having just enough milk for a bowl of cereal before it's all gone
Sleeping all day and watching old movies when you're sick
The person who puts a blanket on you when you've fallen asleep
Hanging your hand out the window of a car
Drinking water after a milkshake
The smell of sizzling garlic
The feeling of relief after throwing up
Really really tall people
High-fiving children
Paying for something with exact change
Getting in line right before it gets long
Piggy back rides
Going home after camping and all your clothes smell like campfire
The 5 second rule
Discovering your birthday is on a Friday or Saturday of the next year
The perfect egg crack
Discovering the colder part of the bed when you switch sides in bed
When the vending machine gives you two of one thing
Feeling of relief after crying
The smell of the coffee aisle at the grocery store
Strangers who wave at you
Sneaking food into the movie theater
The chocolates from Olive Garden
Forts
Apartment complexes with easy-to-break-into pools/hot tubs
Watching something download really fast
That person who puts potato chips on their sandwich
Spilling something on a shirt, and it doesn't leave a stain
Waking up before the alarm and realizing you still have sleep time left
Scraping the lint off an overflowing lint trap
Celebrating a pets birthday even though they don't know what's going on
Dangling your feet in water
When the milk gets icy in the fridge and it looks like you have snow-capped cereal
Free bread at restaurants
Letting go of the gas pump right at just the right moment
Straws
The final seconds of untying a knot
Light-hearted conversations that turn into deep ones
Shoving handfuls of popcorn in your mouth
Washing your hands when they feel dirty and seeing the dirt come off
People who do the same weird things as you
Big burps from little people
Sneezing and a stranger says bless you
Skipping as many steps as possible on the stairs
Wearing the new thing you just bought
Listening to your new favorite song over and over again

Ok, this list has gone on long enough.

When you start to feel sad, think of all the random things in this life that God put there to make you smile, and guess what, you'll smile!
