Pleasures

Some pleasures I enjoy:

• running barefoot in the sand
• wrapping myself in a warm blanket
• smelling a campfire
• exploring the Chicago art museum and other museums
• visiting local art galleries
• singing a cantata with a choir (had my first practice yesterday)
• picking out a new pair of dangly earrings
• writing with colorful new pens
• savoring a piece of 85% cocoa, dark chocolate
• admiring newly painted nails
• making music with the piano
• time in a library or bookstore with no need to hurry
• laughing with a friend
• running through a sprinkler or swimming in Lake Michigan
• exploring new places
• getting a massage
• the smell of soup simmering
• hugs
