She’s got a club on the moon
And she’s telling all her secrets
In a wonderful balloon
She’s the heart of the funfair
She’s got me whistling a private tune
And it all begins where it ends
And she’s all mine, my magic friend
She says, “hello, you fool, I love you
C'mon join the joyride”
Join the joyride
She’s a flower, I could paint her
She’s a child of the sun
We’re a part of this together
Could never turn around and run
Don’t need no fortune teller
To know where my lucky love belongs, whoa no
‘Cause it all begins again when it ends, yeah
And we’re all magic friends (magic friends, magic friends)
“The smiley yellow balloon inspired me to come up with a list of 101 simple pleasures that might make you smile or will perhaps spark other ideas of your own. Of course, simple pleasures aren’t universal, so one person’s pleasures won’t necessarily bring the same boost of happiness to others. But the possibilities are limitless and it’s fun and interesting to see what others consider to be simple pleasures…

Good chocolate
Holding hands
Laughing until you nearly wet your pants
Inside jokes

A cloudless sky
Your favorite flower

Watching your favorite childhood TV show
Singing loudly in the car
Hugging your babies, no matter how old they are

Lying in bed listening to the rain
Finding money you didn’t know was in your pocket
An icy glass of lemonade (or beer) on a hot summer day

Plump summer tomatoes
Bodysurfing
A fireworks display
Making someone smile
Kissing
The farmers market
Helping someone in need
The smell of a baby’s head
Building a sandcastle
Watching clouds float by
A peanut butter and jelly sandwich
Checking something off your to-do list
The cool side of the pillow
The smell of a thunderstorm (“petrichor”)
Waking up and finding the alarm isn’t going off for another three hours
Swinging on a lazy porch swing
Snuggling under the covers on a stormy day
A perfectly-timed, cozy snowstorm
Relaxing in front of a roaring fire
A great book
A long walk on a cool day
Cherry blossom trees
A clean closet
Unexpected good news
The smell of a barbecue
Bubble wrap
An afternoon nap
Finding an old personal treasure at the bottom of a drawer or in the back of a closet
Hitting a bunch of green lights in a row
A brand-new 64 box of Crayolas
Cookie dough
Your favorite movie
Fresh-picked berries, still warm from the sun
Not having to be anywhere
Getting a giant hug just when you need it

A long conversation with a favorite friend
The rare perfect errand day
The smell of fresh-cut grass
Tears of joy
A fabulous bottle of wine
Collecting sea shells
Bubble juice and a bubble wand
A newly-fallen blanket of snow
Making s’mores
The smell of fresh-baked cookies or bread
Vibrant autumn foliage
A foot massage
Licking the batter
Seeing a rainbow
Candlelight
Spring flowers blooming
Hot chocolate on a cold day
Finding something you made when you were a kid
Puppy kisses
Randomly bumping into someone you haven’t seen in a while
A good hair day
When something you were going to buy anyway is on sale
Getting a caring customer service person on the phone
A balloon
Coming across an old photo that makes you smile
The season premiere of your favorite show
Riding with the top down
A chocolate ice cream cone
Taking a shower after a day at the beach
When someone lets you know they’re thinking of you
The smell of a sea breeze
Hearing an old song you used to love
A bright full moon over the water
When a baby falls asleep in your arms
Rereading a favorite childhood book
City lights at night”
