30 things that make me happy

List 30 things that make you happy.

I’ll just make a list in no particular order:

Watermelon

Mangos

My bed

The beach

A good book …the Aubrey/Maturin series to be specific

A steak cooked to perfection

Ska/reggae-old school

London

The Caribbean

The end of the workday

A cleansing shower after a filthy day

Chatting with my sister

Cradling a sleeping baby in my arms

Ice cream

Sangria, particularly after the third

Collecting tailed scallop shells along the beach

Body surfing

Poetry

Rock music: The Rolling Stones, The Who, Bruce Springsteen , The Police, Dire Straits

The Pogues (Shane Macgowan)

A beautiful woman

Sex

Cinema (Casablanca)

Rainy days that cancel plans

Pushing my child down a snowy hill on a sled

Sharing memories with old friends

Driving an excellent sports car

The birth of a healthy child

That child’s successes

Retirement (I hope, I hope)
