137. contented sigh of a sleeping baby
138. the clickety-clack of typewriter keys
139. the satisfying crunch of autumn leaves
140. kittens meowing, eyes still closed, new to the world
141. summer sounds--frogs croaking, crickets chirping, and yes, even cicadas with their loud, rattling hum.
142. ocean washing ashore
143. silence after snowfall
144. rain on a tin roof
145. flip-flops flapping against the sand

151. the squeal of a tea kettle on a stove, signaling it is time to steep the tea leaves
152. the laughter and happy chatter of children on a playground
153. presents being unwrapped, the rustling of festive paper as surprises are revealed
154. fog horns, a deep, hauntingly beautiful sound
155. stifled laughter just begging to erupt and dance across the sound waves
156. hymns being sung by small children, voices loud, making sure God can hear them

I don't know why- but this made my cry. I think because it is so beautiful. And I thought of Jasmin
