1. My office windows. The office is a sun porch, so it’s all windows except for one wall. So far this morning I’ve watched birds, a visiting cat and dog, a sledding child (mine), all while the snow kept falling.

2. Books I haven’t read yet. I have unread books by friends and favorite authors just waiting for me to dig in.

3. Dark chocolate. In addition to the bite-size dark chocolate I keep around for medicinal purposes, there’s dark chocolate cocoa mix. Today’s a good day to have some.

4. Having dinner pre-planned so it’s not a last minute rush. Right now I’m defrosting turkey kielbasa for pizza, and will make dough in the bread machine in a few hours.

5. Lots of art supplies and space to use them in.

What makes you happy?
