Football, baseball, dancing to the point of exhaustion, listening to music, getting lost in a novel, playing in the leaves with my girls, soaking up the sun, playing in the waves, cooking for friends, walking in the woods, watching Spring arrive, building snowmen and playing in the snow so long you can't feel your toes, splashing in puddles, food fights, a good cup of coffee and great conversation.
