Simple Joys 48 - 57

This has been a very tough week... just a lot of sadness and shock. But, despite it all, there have still been moments of happy beauty, and this morning I need to pause and recognize them:

48. Cereal from Trader Joe's
49. Those people who just come and sit with me
50. Warm winter days
51. Unproductive trips to Cambridge
52. The shfamily
53. Watching stupid movies online
54. Swimming for the first time in a long while
55. My new ultra-Pandora station; it's a perfect blend of folk, blues, rock, bluegrass, and soul.
(Seed artists, as of now: Aretha Franklin, Beirut, Bob Dylan, Fleet Foxes, Fleetwood Mac, George Harrison, Iron & Wine, Joni Mitchell, Marvin Gaye, Monsters of Folk, Nick Drake, Nickel Creek, Sufjan Stevens, The Beatles, The Black Keys, The Mamas & The Papas, The Shins, Yeah Yeah Yeahs.)
56. Thoughtful professors
57. The idea that I'll be in Italy in exactly two weeks
