I listed some overrated things a few weeks ago. Now let me list some of my life's little pleasures:
1. I love drinking cool water from a garden hose on a hot summer day.
2. I love the moment when the alarm goes off, but you then suddenly realize you don't need to get up. (I actually used to set my alarm on Saturdays so I could wake up with normal dread and then feel the joyous sensation that came with remembering I didn't need to get up for two more hours.)
3. I love peeling off the protective tape after I've painted a room to reveal all the clean edges.
4. I love nose kisses from Nora.
5. I love new, fluffy towels. (We recently bought new towels after using our old ones for 12 years -- they were like sandpaper.)
6. I love finally swatting a fly after missing it ten straight times and then screaming in triumph as man conquers nature.
7. I love the moment, at the end of a workout, when you realize you can finally, gasp, stop exercising for the day.
8. I love the feel of a fish taking my fly.
9. I love coming home and hearing Stephen yell "Daddy!" in delight.
10. I love making neat patterns in the grass as I mow the lawn. My favorite: diagonal slashes across the front lawn.
