Friends
Doing something that I’ve always wanted to do
The joy of eating
The joy of cooking
When my plans get derailed
Things working out
Slowly, exquisitely eating chocolate
My daughter asking why my eyes were closed “because it’s delicious”
Watching the snow fall and the fire crackle
Holding a baby

Quiet after a long day
Elegance
New benchmarks
Really good chocolate
Getting clear about what I want (chocolate is on the list, of course)
Asking
Figuring it out
Improvising, and loving the result even better
Kale in garlic & butter
Pinterest, and all things searchable
