The Best Things in Life

I was playing in the internet and came across this list of someone's list of the best things in life. As I read through the list it made me realize how much I love the simple pleasures of life. I enjoyed this list so much I thought I would share it with all of my readers (all 3 of you). I have added my own comments and changes in Green and highlighted my favorites in Blue.
The Best Things in Life

1. Falling in love.
2. Laughing so hard your face hurts - and your stomach
3. A hot shower - and then crawling into bed.
4. No lines at the Super Wal-Mart.
