Getting lost in a book. Obsessively writing. Squeezing fat cats. Teaching my dog to give eskimo kisses. Walking in woods. Hugging redwood trees. Saltwater taffy from Patrick's in Bodega Bay. Finding fairy rings. Breathing in fog. Singing along to Kate Bush and Elizabeth Fraser. My fiance. My family. Drinking whiskey in dive bars. Hot coffee on cold mornings. Hugs. Hand holding. Learning new things. Crochet. Yoga. Thoreau. Emerson. Paying attention to life.
Those who expect wonders.

Today, my dog. She just proved that she will roll over three times in a row for dehydrated liver. I can't beat that, can you?
