Insignificant Words that Produce Joy

I was walking home from class today, contemplating what makes me happy. I realized that my joys come from more simple things: a word, a touch, a good grade, etc. I mean, lately I have been really drawn to words that start with "W." I'm not sure you understand.

There are many words that bring me joy. Often they are little used words that are insignificant. Lately though, "W" has become my favorite letter, and words that begin with it just make me smile:

Wrinkle
Wonder
Wigglesworth, Michael (a poet)
Wit
Wistful
Whistle
Whimsical
Wish
Widget
Words

I could keep going, but I think you get my point.
