when every sock in the laundry has its mate
an album you can play from start to finish without skipping anything
cracking frozen puddles in winter
melting out in March and April
a perfectly sharp kitchen knife that slices through everything as if it were butter
an exceptionally juicy grapefruit
catching all the green lights
finding parking right in front of where you need to go
or being able to bike there instead
the first day of the year you can go outside without a jacket
an evening walk in the summer
first fireflies of the year
a house that smells like home cooking
sweet text messages just because
opening the windows in the apartment
a perfect hair day
buy one get one free on something you always need
a driver waving "thank you" when you let them in
unsolicited hugs from children
seeing a stranger smiling for no apparent reason
the opening credits of a movie you've been dying to see
when you hear someone you love at the door, getting home from work
the soft click of the light going out before bed
when you're tired and sleeps comes easily and heavily
