A perfectly toasted bagel. Flower crowns.

These are a few of my favorite things.

Deep-color sunsets that saturate the horizon. 

The little satisfied chirrup sound my cat makes when you start to pet her.

Sunny summer afternoon drives with the windows down.

Falafel.

Those videos where dogs are reunited with their masters after long separation.

Face masks that peel off in a really satisfying way.

The cerulean crayon.

Band-aids with cartoon characters on them.

Picking up rocks on the beach.

Amazon Prime.

This list could go on forever. The point of making a list, I think, is to begin this blog with a sliver of the wide world of things that make me happy, just in case someday I seem like a person who is only sad.
