Second-hand bookshops with plenty of treasures to be unearthed. Thrift stores for the same reason. Tea. Waking up on the first morning of a vacation with plenty of time in front of me. A new, pretty notebook. Fountain pens. Baking cookies. Walking on the beach. A hug from one of my kids. A hug from my husband. Occasionally, a few hours home alone. Writing something I am kind of, a little bit, maybe, happy with. Listening to music in the car with my daughter. Walking around a city where no one knows me. Chocolate. Talking to an old friend who always understands. Taking photographs. London. A week at our favorite farmhouse in New York. Being driven to helpless laughter by my son who can talk circles around me.
