1) Waking up on a cold weekend morning, feeling warm in bed, realizing I don't have to go anywhere, and snuggling back under the covers to drift asleep again.

2) Sitting in front of a window and watching a storm.

3) That feeling you get just before you kiss someone—you know the one.

4) Resting my head on my partner's chest, listening to his heartbeat and his breathing.

5) Sitting around with friends, having a wonderful conversation, and then realizing what a wonderful conversation I'm having.

6) Reading the last fifty pages or so of a great book. I start to realize that I'm going to part with it soon, and I do all sorts of things to prolong the experience—I turn back a few pages, read certain passages over and over again, let myself linger a little longer over the words.

7) Rolling down Imperial Highway, big nasty redhead at my side. Oops—that's from Randy Newman's list.

8) Hiking up to a secluded area, sitting near the edge of a cliff and feeling as though the things I'm seeing have managed to go straight from my eyes to my heart.

9) Floating.

10) That feeling of hope that comes when, no matter how things look, you realize that somehow, some way, things will be OK.
