Sort of kidding, but seriously, music. My phone full of favorite songs is used daily.
Photos. I love looking through them and recalling cherished moments, reliving the warm and sweet memories that have filled my life.
I @psychmomma reminds me that I probably would be miserable without a camera of some sort- any sort. I am ALWAYS taking pictures, and I’ve been like this since it was polaroids and film cameras.

Little things:
coffee with chicory first thing in the morning
martini at cocktail hour
bubble bath before bed
Big thing:
regular phone calls from my children
My made at home DD French vanilla coffee with non fat Half and Half and 2 Splenda. I can do regular coffee and other artificial sweeteners but if there is anything other than half and half (even if it’s full fat), I just won’t have coffee. i carry my own Splenda and half and half mini containers when I (used to) go out.
Printed books.
