Making plans, whether grand or simple: a dream vacation, a weekend camping trip, a day trip to the beach or a backyard BBQ with the neighbors.
Snuggling up on the couch to watch a new season of your favorite show.
Finally tackling the task you’ve been procrastinating.
Videos of animal antics like … dogs looking guilty, cats being jerks, goats jumping on a trampoline, cockatiels grooving to dance music or sloths waking up from a nap. (What’s your favorite?)
Taking a walk to admire the first tulips of spring and the first roses of summer.
Homemade strawberry shortcake with just-picked, perfectly ripe berries and freshly whipped cream.
Sinking your teeth into fresh summer produce. (What’s your favorite? Cherries, peaches, watermelon, corn or tomatoes?)
Swinging on a tire swing as high as you can on a warm afternoon.
Babies laughing, preschoolers telling knock-knock jokes, the gap-toothed grin of a kid who just lost their first tooth … and so many more of those priceless childhood moments full of unrestrained joy.
