Seeing, in person, a beautiful sunset with streaks of pink, purple, and yellow, broadcasting the beauty of creation to all who appreciate it.
Having lunch with your daughter(s) and catching up while making jokes, sharing secrets, and listening carefully for things sometimes left unsaid.
Listening to musicians who love what they do and pour their heart out into the moment.
Watching a fluff movie like Miss Congeniality and laughing your head off. Or, singing with one of your favorites, like the Sound of Music, and remembering when you used to do the same thing at age 8.
Making a dinner you truly enjoy, like the wonderful Penne with Shrimp recipe of the Pioneer Woman, and enjoying a glass of wine with it.
Reading a book and realizing it's sucked you in, because it's so good that you can see yourself in the middle of the plot, and then looking up at the clock realizing it's 2 am but you don't really want to stop reading.
Sitting on the beach at night and enjoying the sound of the waves as they roll to shore, knowing that the tide rolls in every night because it was made to do so, and feeling a part of something bigger as you enjoy it.
Watching Little House on the Prairie with your daughter who has no idea how much you obsessed over that show as a little girl - and she says you're a better mom than Caroline Ingalls.
Pretty much any dessert with sprinkles.
