... the way trees look when I first wake up and look out my window, all blurry and upside down.
... the sweet warmth of a purring cat on my lap when I'm reading a good book
... baking. Anything.
... suddenly having time I didn't think I had.
... the first use of a new eyeshadow or lipstick. It's always a surprise, always an adventure.
... long socks pulled up over my knees.
... expensive chocolate, and the time to properly savor it, sex-noises and all.
... oolong tea.
... getting packages in the mail, even when I'm the one who ordered them.
... the first few pages of a new book, and the basking after the last few.
... vodka and cran with lime.
... guava wine with soda water. Well, really, almost anything guava.
... the last few seconds of landing in an airplane, when the ground is inevitable, but hasn't happened yet.
... mountains.
... watching roses open.
... fuzzy warm blankets when it's cold.
... finding out small an unexpected ways other cultures differ from ours.
... beautiful things that don't need to be beautiful but are anyway-- stools, bowls, wooden spoons, cake stands, ceiling rafters, stuff like that.
... misty weather and soft green grass by the sea.
