Lengthy updates via email from cross-country friends
The very last sniffle of a cold
A found twenty-dollar bill
Cold lemonade or hot tea, depending on the weather
Sample subscriptions to magazines boasting implicit simplicity
A deep breath and a deep stretch
A cell phone chirp indicating a new text message
A snarky comment prevented from repetition aloud
A soft bed, with high thread count sheets freshly laundered
Low glow from an antique lamp
A well-thumbed book, the third time read
Free lunch, and even better, at a restaurant
A scary movie, and someone to split buttered popcorn with
Al fresco anything
Having someone tell you there’s something in your teeth, immediately
Impromptu invitations
A sick day for your boss
Sunlight through the sunroof
Dew on grass, and then feet on dew
Praise
Icy water, without the ice
Naps
Sunday night before a Monday holiday
The burger at Wellville, Blue 9 or Corner Bistro
Bryant Park’s fountain
The still of seven a.m.
Being second in line (first is the worst, second is the best…)
Trampolines
Blue-bottomed pools
When someone refers to you as their best friend
Rooftop cocktails and fireworks
Bare arms and legs in the afternoon
Sunglasses that don’t pinch
Tulips
Shade
Knowing that, on Friday morning, the entire weekend lies ahead

Hope you all are in a good mood today, and have a wonderful weekend. Thanks again for all of your comments, I always appreciate what you have to say, and always get excited to read your insights.
Happy Friday!
Love Fridays.
to this list i must add: when they say "this shot is the martini" and they mean it. (film reference, but if you know what i mean then you know what i mean)
I couldn't have said it better myself. Although I would have to add one thing: reading in a comfy chair, an all day activity.
BTW, I dig icy water (on or off the rocks), naps and sick days for the boss.
Thank you for the wonderful start to the day. Perfect for reminding me that the weekend is just around the corner.
Thanks for your visit to my blog (integratedb at livejournal) and for your kind comments.
I'm REALLY with you about the high thread count sheets, freshly laundered. Combine that with the well worn book (and maybe a kind of rainy afternoon) and you have the recipe for my perfect day.
It's nice to read such a positive list. Thanks for reminding me of the great things in life.
I like sheets that I've slept in a couple of days (maybe needing the scent is a guy thing). Is that gross?
MMM, why can't everyday have one of those items?

You forget Frank Sinatra singing! :) I love this post.

One of my favorites...
Great list! Friday's rock my world of late...
...a happy Friday indeed. : )
enjoyed the list k...
Love your list. I liked when you put when someone refers to you as their best friend. I get that warm fuzzy feeling when someone makes me sign their passport application as a reference and when I look at the “relationship” column it says friend. I feel like the government will somewhere have on its files that my friendship with this person exists.

Ps- and cool to see another Madox even though he spells his name differently.
It sounds like a totally perfect day! I'm wondering...is this story based on an experienced good mood?
Thanks for such an optimistic post.
For me some that come straight to the front are.
An unexpected call from a friend just to say hi.
A walk in the sun
Listening to music
Lost in a book
A look from my kids that say’s “I love you”
My kids laughter
Swimming in a pool outside or in the sea
The quiet of early morning
On the sheets thing – it’s a girl one. My wife just lies there smelling the clean sheets.
