Things

As I came home today I thought of small things that make me smile. Things that I'm not sure if they make other people smile, or if other people ignore them.
Turning on the lights in my apartment when i get home makes me happy.
And little kids pretending to be adults, like wearing suits, or sunglasses does to.
And seeing people dressed a certain way, like carrying flippers and a kick board, so you can tell where they are going even though you don't know them, that makes me smile, but secretly because mostly people are very serious.
I collect all these instances, every time I see one and keep them in my head, and when i think about them when I need to, or sometimes just now and again.

I started thinking about my collections of instances because I saw a pregnant lady with her little girl at their letter box. the little girl was pulling letters out of the letter box one by one one by one and handing them to the lady. and the girl was so excited with ever letter that she pulled out.
I still get excited about checking the letter box. I hardly ever get mail and when I do it is mostly bad news. But I just really like opening it up and seeing letters.

Today when i got home and checked the letter box, there was a postcard from new york in there.
From my friends to me.
