Your mileage may differ.
1 min readDec 11, 2023
- Waking up in a cold house and cranking the heat.
- One piece of good Swiss chocolate.
- The smell of fresh ground coffee (and maybe one sip because that stuff can turn on you).
- A hot shower after working outside in the cold
- Christmas lights on a snowy night, but not too snowy.
- Getting back into a warm bed (why are these all heat-related?).
- The first few bites of a good meal, before you get too stuffed and honestly don’t enjoy it anymore.
- Petting my dog.
- Fresh bed sheets.
- The silence that descends when my boss leaves the office.
- Finally doing something I’ve been putting off.
- When a sensitive tooth stops hurting from eating ice cream.
- Receiving a present.
- Driving someplace in the country where I’ve never been before, but I have a general idea where I am and of course there’s always GPS.
- Flowers in the spring.
- Coming home.
