Here are a few of my favourite things:<br />- making soup from scratch (yes including the broth)<br />- making pizza (also from scratch including crust and sauce, ideally as you drink wine and listen to music - this should be shared with friends but solo is also pretty awesome)<br />- bubble baths (ideally also shared with others but great solo)<br />- running by the water (preferably the ocean where wildlife sightings are common)<br />- fresh flowers<br />- talking to someone elderly, preferably Italian, who works in a deli (always a good time)<br />- art house movies on a dreary day<br />- walking in the rain and not caring if you get wet<br />- sitting on top of a mountain summit<br />- swimming in the oceanmelissa evansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02661716266917284734noreply@blogger.com
