* soft pale lavender single clematis flower at the back entrance of my apartment

* the radiant warmth of a hot summer day

* little turquoise skull earrings

* tequila with lime and sea salt

* a funny crow chasing insects for fun and splooting in the heat outside my bedroom window (I wasn't quick enough to get a photo but this is what they do when the sun gets hot, they spread out their wings and get all flat and it looks like they're crushed or dead or something but it's just a sploot) (I think this is the same crow that was playing with the pink plastic flag that marks the broken sprinkler head a few weeks ago.)

* foam hearts in my almond milk lattes

* the luxury of sitting and reading in an outdoor cafe area in the shade of an overly warm day

* burnt orange prana shorts, a tattered overly long turquoise graphic tank, a velvet pale lavender bra, and turquoise beads worn while running errands

* blueberries picked from neighboring bushes

* thimbleberries plucked from the wildwood trail in forest park

* summer fruit

* ginger root

* cool evening breezes

* a kitty gazing up into your eyes lovingly for no reason other than to just gaze

* purple basil

* writing styles that weave emotional content into luscious descriptions of everyday events

* riding bikes in perfect weather with a partner to order and pickup lunch

* handstands

* meteor showers in summer

* the soft new default sounds for text messages on my new phone

* two dollar bills

* a swirled copper arm band

* foaming handsoap

* blue post office boxes

* blue hydrangea

* friendly, gentle, kind, and patient bank tellers and grocery clerks

* people who still care despite everything

* sleeping meditations on youtube

* audiobooks

* being able to say "i'm married" while socializing at the club with less than savory humans

* the way music and dance makes us feel a little more affectionate

* dreams about connection that are realer than most actual connections, but not all.

* the soft sigh of a cat who knows he's cared for.
