how to end a day

"these are some of my favorite things"

steamy hot shower.
fresh clean sheets.
peaceful drift into sleep.

buzz. no, not three things to make a perfect one night stand.  correct category is: the perfect way to end a long day.  another acceptable answer would have been: ways to un-grouchify me

it's the simple things in life that makes a person smile inside.  big extravagant gifts may be welcomed, but small thoughtful acts are what makes a person appreciate life.

i remember one christmas in dallas at home for winter break.  i heard the doorbell ring only to find a delivery guy handing me a pretty vase of flowers.  it was snowing outside fulfilling the wish of a white christmas.  i read the note from someone special; at that moment, i was sad he couldn't visit me.

that was until a phone call came a few hours later asking what i was doing.  that was until that same someone special surprised me at my doorstep making me smile both inside and out.  i was appreciating life.

is it bad that i cant recall the exact gift i got that year?  is it okay that i cant recall what i bought him?  but somehow i cant forget how much i enjoyed christmas that year.

sweet surprises.
priceless moments.
falling asleep in his arms.

the perfect way to romance.
