1. The smell of old library books

2. Opening a brand new box of crayons

3. When my total word count at the end of a writing session ends in 00

4. Not having to leave my house on a rainy day

5. Singing along with my favorite songs

6. Listening to my two sons chat and play like they’re best friends

7. Making lists and checking things off

8. Going shopping by myself

9. The first day I can go out without a coat in spring

10. The sound of my dogs barking in their sleep
