do you hear the people sing?

I want a life filled with

• late nights and lazy mornings
• snuggling under the covers when its cold outside
• coffee brewed with a french press
• farmers markets and antique malls
• swinging on swingsets
• reading, reading and more reading
• cups of homemade chai
• mountain hikes when you can see your breath and the sun is just rising over the trees
• cloudless skies over colorful meadows
• thunderstorms with plenty of lightning
• candlelit dinners
• small furry animals
• bunny slippers
• mugs of hot cocoa by the fire
• watching the snow fall on the pines
• silence and noise
• canoe rides on a glass lake
• swimming in a cold river on a hot day
• log cabins in the woods
• fresh vegetables and fresh baked breads
• classical music filling every room
• plane trips to far away lands
• stars uninhibited by city lights
• long drives on winding roads
• picnics in the sun

...and joy. A life filled with joy.
