things that make me happy

right now, at this very moment, i'm feeling pretty happy.

• the sun is shining, but it is still cool outside
• the birds are singing on all sides of the house
• the coffee turned out juuuust right this morning (you know how sometimes it's good and sometimes it's great? today it's divine)
• after a nice long walk, the little red dog is curled up by the front door snoozing
• i'm not too stiff and sore from Sunday's half marathon, but i'm booked in for a massage in an hour anyway
• my sweetheart and i went out for dinner with some friends on Sunday, and then lounged over coffees in their back yard. they have a beautiful little pond full of simple plants and goldfish, and i'm feeling re-inspired about getting the work on my flower beds done.
• i ordered some piano music online, and it has arrived.... and the piano tuner is coming later this week. so i am committed to getting back to playing.
