Episode 120: A Brightly Colored Raincoat

 

Wearing a bright raincoat, the perfect sunset, long road trips and dense fog -- a recipe for happiness.


Putting on a brightly colored raincoat and braving a storm.

Reading a short story your friend sent you, filled with cleverness and honesty.

Looking forward to a big trip.

Ordering exactly what you want on the menu.

Taking your time when washing your hair.

The smell of freshly cut lemons.

Strange music pouring out of a passing car.

Someone at work complimenting how well you’ve done.

Walking in a dense fog through the forest, the trees almost ghostly in the white mist.

Kayaking slowly along a lake, the water gentle, your paddle light in your hands.

The joy of a seemingly endless road trip, the road stretching out for miles before you.

When the sky melts into stripes of color when the sun’s going down.

Taking a dog on a walk around the neighborhood.

Sharing your favorite book with someone else, and finding that they love it too.

Helping someone finish a project that would have taken them too long on their own.

Doing a cartwheel in the grass.

When your friend is really passionate about something and tells you all about it.

Picking out toppings for frozen yogurt.

The sound of stirring a drink that has ice in it, the cubes clinking against the glass.

Inviting someone over for a meal.
