I have a notebook that Adriane gave me three years ago. I started to write things in it that make me happy in February of 2009. Here's the first installment of 90:

  • a sunrise in the desert
  • a sunrise over snow
  • a sunrise in the mountains
  • a sunrise
  • down comforters
  • embarrassing moments that become funny stories
  • watching a movie
  • changing routes all of a sudden
  • clean sheets
  • coming into an attic that is warm
  • rearranging furniture
  • sending letters 
  • getting letters
  • making lists
  • running faster

taking the bus
those moments right before falling asleep
