Bicycling.
Petting my dog.
Reading.
Looking at my dog.

Sitting in the garden late at night looking at the stars.

Sitting in the garden early morning listening to the birds.

The sound of waves on the ocean.

The smell of the sea while walking on the beach.

Laughing with people close to me.

Walking in the countryside
The sound of the sea

Happypants

Watching my dogs play
Wine + dark dramas (I mean...TV dramas, not my own family dramas :D )
