    Jigsaw puzzles, and playing scrabble against the computer, having our sweet, rescue dog coming to see me with tail swinging high. Drinking hot, sweet matcha tea with a dab of whipped cream on the top. Cheese blintzes with sour cream and my homemade Muscadine grape preserves, from a huge grape harvest we had this year. Watching the "Outlander" series which I never want to end, so widely spacing out the individual shows to have it last longer. Finally getting a Passion Fruit vine to survive and thrive in my cold climate with careful tending to its every desire.

    Just a few come to mind: wind, bare trees, getting into bed at night, petting my silky cat, the first coffee of the morning, finishing some task and sitting down in my chair, the sky, the earth beneath my feet first thing in the morning, finding some little pleasure my husband will enjoy, a toasted slice of my annual holiday bread, watching old reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond with Ron, music

    So so much that I appreciate, Nature, including all nature...birds especially.
    Adore and appreciate all my family, I have three beautiful daughters that I appreciate so much.
    My nine grandchildren along with five great grands. They make my life full.

    I appreciate the air I breathe, and a lot of what you all have mentioned.

    Misty forests in the early hours
    Shady forests in summer heat
    Seeing a wild deer is one of those things (happens every ten years or so)
    Having milk delivered by a milkman, happens every week starting 2021, I love this!
    Music never gets tired
    Second hand shops forever

    Sitting on my deck in front of an outside steel fireplace I made, listening to the crackle of the wood while tucked away back in the woods. Glass of superb wine , cheese , and a great cigar. Soaking in the heat the fire. Peace as everything stops in time during that moment.

    Meeting our chickens at the back door at sunset, walking them back to their shed and tucking them up, safe and warm for the night. It never fails to give me joy.
