Lovely Things
These things are lovely. They make me happy.

- Rolling over to the warm part of the bed left by C when he gets up to go to work and sleeping some more.
- The smell of pool wafting out the back of the aquatic centre on my way to class from the bus.
- Sitting with a cup of something warm and reading a favourite magazine (esp. domino).
- Chocolate milkshakes that comes with extras in the metal mixing cup.
- Budding magnolia flowers in the spring.
