1. A sunny day, in early December, before the snow comes.
2. Murphy in my bed on a Sunday morning.
3. A day with nothing in particular to accomplish.
4. The day’s first coffee.
5. New music. I love the experience of taking the cellophane off a new CD.
6. A new friend. Her name is alex_72. Yes, I know. Alex? She assures me she’s all girl. She tells me that I have to do what I love. What else could I do? It invigorates me.
7. A phone call from a friend I didn’t know that I missed.
8. A book. Page after quiet page, I am transported.
9. Dancing in my living room long enough to forget that I am, after all, still in my living room.
10. At last: new socks. I’ve got 12 pairs of the same kind of sock. No more struggling to match socks that are almost, but not quite, the same.
