2. First of all, my wife...

Although the word ‘joy’ is spelled with other letters sometimes. Then family…dog…growing stuff…cooking.

Sitting in the kayak on a warm summer day feeling the sun filled breeze drying the lake water from me after a dip in an isolated lake, eyes closed, mentally close to meditation, enjoying the haunting calls of the loons.

Hiking through the pine forest following the foggy breath in front of me far from the sounds of civilization, held in amazement when the slight breeze allowed by the trees shakes off the snow captured on the evergreen branches creating a second snowfall some of which finds its way between my collars tickling down my back causing a slight shiver and a smile on my face.

Little stuff like that.
