As are crispy apples, kittens, interesting people, ripe plums, cinnamon buns ... I think I should state that not all of these are for eating. I am just hungry right now, so those things are uppermost in my mind.
Sitting outside during a summer night, wearing a blanket and looking at stars and discussing what your crazy uncle has done this time. Used book stores. A perfect coffee. Surprises. Learning new things.
The point is not to be happy all the time, or never to be sad. It is about the good bits, and perhaps more importantly, what hasn't happened yet. Curiosity, perhaps? I don't know.
