- Cheese. Do I need to qualify or explain this? Just – cheese.
- Beer. It makes the world seem less edgy and happier.
- Antique roses flushing the landscape with color and scent.

- Pippa’s wheezing. It doesn’t make me happy that she wheezes but that it reminds me she’s there.
- Coffee. It’s not about the caffeine, it’s about the flavor and the warmth.
- The view from my office of the monastery garden I built.
- The sound of chickens scuffling with each other and the feel of their silky feathers.
- Discovering a new favorite show and finding out there are 13 seasons of it to watch.
- Photographing everything. Especially food and industrial details of buildings and landscapes. And insects.
- Going to the farmer’s market and coming home with fresh local produce. Seeing vegetables arranged in baskets and bins has always made me happy.
- The beautiful shawl my friend Taj made me that I’m looking at right now.
- Old silverware. I discovered my mom’s set yesterday that I hadn’t seen before and it was enchanting to see such good spoons and exotic forks.
