My favorite things, in no particular order.  Far from static, this list is ever-changing, capturing some simple things that make me happy:

Coffee in bed
First kisses
Babbling creeks
Crescent moons on clear, chilly nights
Crispy bacon
Purring kitties on my chest
The scent of freshly-cut grass
Twittering finches in the trees
The sun’s warmth on my back
Fresh rain on dusty asphalt (Petrichor)
Spooning in the dawn hours
The sound of pencil on paper
Crackling fires in Autumn
A new haircut
Holding hands
Spaetzle, fried crisp in butter
Silly, post-sex conversations
Napping to the sound of the washing machine
The very last center bite of buttery, cinnamon-sugar toast
Watering the backyard, barefoot, on a warm summer evening
Wind chimes in a gentle breeze
Crunchy gravel underfoot
Tiny European villages
Red peep-toe pumps
1940’s style
Scars
Surprise packages in the mailbox
Cardamom and star anise
Deep bathtubs with ample hot water
Weathered things
Peonies
B&W photos
Lindy hop
A new pedicure
Oak trees surrounded by dried grass
Digging in the dirt
Glasses on men
Wooden things
Red barns
gooey cheese
Baby goats
Ginkgo trees in Winter
Tattoos
Sun-warmed tomatoes, straight from the vine
