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.
