The Daily Boost #542

These are a few of my favorite things

Writing (well, duh)
Making music with friends
Relaxing beside a fire
Listening to live jazz
Watching my son play the cello or violin
Co-cooking special dinners with my husband
Wrapping my mother in a long, tight hug
Getting stretched by travel
Hiking a long, secluded trail
Being among trees
Reading a poem to someone who loves poetry . . .

What are some of your favorite things?

(My thanks to Yo-Yo Ma and Chris Botti and friends.)
