The world is full of darkness. Here is a spot of light. This is a list of things, which will continually be updated, that brings me joy.
My son, husband and two scruffy dogs
The Comic Con fandom
Group texts with my best friends
Long walks that aren’t strenuous
Whisky or Whiskey in a fancy glass or any glass that is in my hand
Sand between my toes
The way the hills shape the horizon line
The Starbucks half-a-block away
Critique Partners who get my books and help make them better
Takeoff
Anything about the Royal Family
The freckles on my son’s nose
Books in stacks, on bookshelves, in my hands
My husband’s hair
The way my dog curls up beside me in bed
The way my son laughs, so big and with his whole body
Bread and butter
Doing the unexpected
All things the UK
The Wedding episode of Outlander
Tony Hale in all his roles
