This is very good. For me they are:

1,2,5,6,7,18,22,23,25,27,28,29

Ditto about #30, what tj said.

You've touched a nerve for me though. Even though I'm a guy, I absolutely love #20. I confess that I also love having someone of the female persuasion touch my hand or my arm when talking to me.

May I add #31...seeing your children accomplishing their goals and knowing that you played a part.

Hearing your children or grandchildren squeal in delight just to see your face.

Two of my favorite things are taking a nap on a chilly afternoon, next to an open window, covered in warm blankets, so just the tip of your nose is cold.


The other is in the spring or fall, when the air is cool but you're outside and you can still feel the sun on your skin through your clothes.

The feeling of a child just giving you a hug for no reason.
