In no particular order:

1. The little sparrows that flit and hop around the city. They are so cute and they are fearless. Sometimes I think they are talking to me.

2. The fact that, after years and years of having very short hair, my hair is now long enough to put into a pony tail and wear in a twist. My goal is to be able to stick it on the top of my head with chopsticks.

3. A cleverly turned phrase.

4. Slipping into a newly made bed - smelling the clean sheets and putting my head on the pillows which are all puffy from being newly fluffed and feeling my head sink into their softness.

5. Running into friends in unexpected places.

6. Interesting reflections. For example, in San Francisco the street names are often etched into the cement of the sidewalk at corners. Once when I had gone back for a visit, I was walking down California Street. It had rained the night before and although the sidewalk was dry, water was standing in the etched letters of "California" and it was reflecting the sun and buildings around it. I will never forgive myself for not having my camera at that moment to capture that image.

7. The particular texture of a French macaroon.

8. Color coordinated loads of laundry. Blues and greens in one load. Orange and pink in another.

9. The way it feels to walk on a well-made stiletto heel.

10. Fonts
