In no particular order:
- Pizza
- The number 9 (but not the song)
- Dark pink
- Gum Gum People
- New running shoes
- Showering then going to bed with clean sheets
- Hot chocolate on a cold winter day
- Drinking briskly cool water from a fountain after a run in summer
- The scent of freshly cut wood
- Songs I never get tired of, no matter how many billions of times I listen to them
- Re-reading something I wrote years later and coming away impressed
- Fixing up a bad drawing
- Improvising a zinger that is way funnier than it has any right to be (this is not a common occurence)
- Getting lost in a great novel
- Watching a movie where characters are smart, believable and competent
- Happy endings
- Dioramas. They’re just cool and spiffy.
I’ll do a sequel post on this later this year. This was all off the top of my head, so there’s going to be things I missed.
