Damn, man , lol - one of the greatest hubs of all time for its wit, truth and wisdom - and the epi-man could probably write something on every one of these righteous lines of yours - your profile picture looks like you were an extra in the film Carnival of Souls (check it out on You Tube; the original in black and white)

and I can't believe anyone has beat me here to it - so there is only one thing to do and that is to post and promote this great hub to my FACEBOOK page with a direct link back here in order to start some kind of revolution.

well I don't know what to say. Thank You for starters. My girlfriend is an aspiring make-up artist and did me up last Halloween. So sorry, no movies for me, ha.

You don't need to direct link me, but it's greatly appreciated. Best comment I think I've had so far here on hub pages.

This makes me think about the things I have to be grateful for. I guess everyone would have a different list. This idea/concept is interesting to think about too.

Besides those I also have additional enjoyments:

When I leave office for home at the end of my work day.

When I see my seedlings grow well as expected.

Skinsman82000, What a charming, endearing, gentle listing of the enjoyable experiences and things that can make the difference between considering a glass half-full or half-empty! Your choice of illustrations was most effective, especially that scene from the Matrix film series. Additionally, I like the way in which you ordered your list, beginning and ending with the nostalgic fun of childhood when "all seems right with the world."

Thank you for sharing,

Derdriu

I've always liked the smell of gas. I used to like the skunk smell, until I lived in a rural area with lots of them spraying around. Now the smell gives me a headache right away. I like retro games, a lot of retro stuff really. Keanu Reeves is my favourite movie guy, plus we were born the same year and grew up in the same city.

Really nice hub. I thought of a couple more...

Going outside in shirtsleeves, the first warm day of spring, after several months of cold winter.

The smell of old books (or old vinyl LP's)

The smell of the Christmas turkey cooking.

skinsman82000 Hub Author 3 months ago

Good ones. I should have thought about the smell of old books. It's the smell of history. Thanks.

I LOVE THIS HUB! I don't say that too often, so it is a real compliment to you! It brought back a lot of memories from years ago as I read each entry. Nicely illustrated. Voted up, awesome and interesting. Way to Go!

laurathegentleman Level 5 Commenter 3 months ago

It really is the little things in life that matter. Those rainy days where you don't have to drive anywhere are truly wonderful... My favorite is smelling something that pulls back a memory...

This is an AWESOME Hub! Voted up, up, and away! :)

I actually started to make a list of the ones I really like so that I could tell you in my comments and before I knew it I was at liking them all. This is, indeed, a great list and it made me smile all the way through. Voted up, useful, awesome, funny, beautiful. If only we could really learn to enjoy even 2 or 3.....
