Just the sound of it.....
There are a few things that, every time I hear them, just make me smile.
1) A child sayin' "I love you mommy/daddy" - even though it's not aimed at me, the sound of those sweet voices sayin' those simple words just gets to me every time.
2) Rain on the roof. Even if I have to go back out in it - don't care. Well, let me just say as long as that rain is not accompanied by hurricane force winds.
3) Laughter. ESPECIALLY if it's due to something I said or did. Does that make me self centered? I don't THINK so. But I do so love to make people laugh.
4) Certain songs. And I'll get into that this weekend when I respond to Rave's meme.
There are more but these are the four that come to mind immediately.
Now I fully realize it's not Saturday yet - but come-on....play with me here. What sounds always make YOU smile?
Posted by Tammi at September 1, 2006 05:25 AM | TrackBackThere are several songs that make me smile! I have tons of memories tied up in songs.
Hearing my sisters say "I love you Sissy". My 18 year old sister cuts it to Sis now because she's too cool. But it's still good to hear.
I would agree with laughter.
Oh, there are more....but these are the first 3 I can think of.

Thunderstorms.
The way the Boy breathes when he is sleeping next to me. :)

Waves hitting the shore
Seagulls
Foghorns

Water through a stream
Someone I care about sleeping peacefully, breathing regularly
An oboe skillfully played
the faint click/snap of rifles in perfectly executed close-order silent drill.
Water rushing down a mountain.
Wave crashing on the shore.
Childrens Laughter.
My wife's voice.
Click, psssshhhhht, glub glub glub glub glub.
The suck sound a bass makes when he's after your top water lure.
The solid crack of a ball bat, in some cases the solid "ting".
A crowd in a stadium so loud that the announcers have to scream over the top of them.
Since last year, ... ;) The Buckeye Fight Song.
Silence from the dogs.
Seagulls chattering overhead. It means I'm on a pier fishin'.
Pads poppin'.
Good friends laughin'.
Bagpipes.
the sound of a baby's sigh
My boys breathing as they sleep.
My boys belly laughing.
... walking through the woods in autumn... only hearing my footsteps in the leaves...
