Way too many songs, movies, books, and comedic routines to mention, but”Signed, Sealed, Delivered” and “Tell Me Something Good” (preferably the live version where Chaka is still playing with Rufus)–these almost always make me happy.

Rain.

Unexpected mail from someone who means me no harm.

Videos of cats falling off of things. Videos of animals sleeping. Videos of animals dressed as people.

Cleaning something dirty, straightening something crooked.

When my mother strokes my hair.

Revenge, served cold.

Not worrying about paying my bills.

Also, fresh-baked Challah, the thrill of a new book arriving in the mail, reading and re-reading stories by Jorge Luis Borges, and the smell of a new book bought from the store.

And to steal one of yours, the unbridled enthusiasm bit is really amazing.
