- Alligators;
- Making people happy;
- Homemade beef stew;
- “I love you”;
- Soap bubbles in the air;
- The look of surprise on a stranger’s face when I hold a door for them;
- Frogs;
- “Thank you”;
- Living room sunbeams on a cold day;
- Forgiveness;
- Coca-Cola;
- “That’s a beautiful photo”;
- Otters;
- Cadbury Mini-Eggs;
- Sunsets;
- Jesus.
