Drinking the sweet, unnerving-shade-of-green milk left in the bowl after eating Lucky Charms.

What are some of yours?

Most of life...

 

A nap on a rainy day with my wife

A cold beer and pizza with the Broncos playing.

A bowl of Captain Crunch w/ Crunch Berries

A double shot of good bourbon on the rocks.

Vacations with my wife.

A long technical downhill on my MTB.

I could go on and on and on.

Dark chocolate.

The sound of tires on pavement with nothing else disturbing it -- no traffic, no squeaking drivetrain, no barking dogs. Usually only happens at 3 am...

My 2-month-old sleeping in my arms. (and no poopy diaper)

Lacing up a new bike wheel from loose parts.

Running in the woods when it's lightly raining, and there's nothing around but nature.

A warm dog in my bed

Coming home to a clean house

Riding your bike and finally hitting the point where you turn and the headwind become a tailwind

Asking a friend for a favor and receiving a "no problem" and a smile in reponse (and being able to do the same!)

a lazy day of nothing while food braises all day in the oven and the house smells incredible

those moments when I remember to have gratitude for the things in my life that I might normally take for granted - like having another day

a cup of warm coffee on my patio on a quiet Sunday morning

Every morning that I swim, I stop at a Starbucks on the way to work.  It's my reward for getting up in the morning to swim.  It almost makes me look forward to swim days.

Naps.  I absolutely love naps.  Spend most of our childhood trying to avoid them and a big part of adulthood trying to get them back.

Getting and giving attention from/to a dog.

Cap purring on your lap.

A little kids giggle.  There is absolutely NOTHING more infectious.  It makes me smile every time and just lifts me.  Even though I don't have kids.

Making someone else smile

Holding hands

Snuggling in bed in the mornings and no alarm clock about to go off

Being under a blanket on a chilly/rainy night with a mug of hot tea

Hugs

Cool weather, early morning trail runs as the light is coming up over the horizon. My favorite trail is an out and back with a dock on the bay as the mid point and a number of eagle's nests just off the trail.

Spreading out the Sunday paper on the kitchen table with a good cup of Joe before anyone else is up.

Glass of scotch mid-afternoon watching football or golf.

Digging a good bottle out of the cellar mid-week just because.

Sliding into the hot tub au naturale post-run when no one is home.

Stopping at the wine, bike, running or sporting goods store just to browse.
