things that make me really happy

The last two days have been incredibly difficult and in order to boost my spirits I've come up with a list of things that make me happy.

  • A really good glass of red wine
  • A perfectly ripe tomato right off the vine
  • The first sip of coffee in the morning
  • Chris Isaak's voice
  • Sitting on the hearth in front of a fire Christmas morning with my cousin
  • Seeing Big J's car in the driveway when I drive up the street
  • A sleepy purring cat
  • little j's laugh when she wants to be tickled
  • Finding the perfect article for a research project
  • Cocktails with girlfriends
  • A really good belly laugh
  • An unexpected email or voice mail from a long-lost friend
  • Hearing a student say, "I learned a lot, but I know I can learn more"
  • Date night with Big J
  • Getting lost in a great book
  • Going to see a period movie by myself
  • Seeing the look on little j's face when she figures something out on her own
  • Watching Big J blow glass
  • Saturday morning farmers' market

These are just some of the things that keep me going. Are there more? Definitely.
