Quiet mornings.

Sing-a-long songs with my toddlers in the car.

Sunset and a beer with my wife.

Runner’s high on a long run.

Cuddling up and watching a DVD with the wife and kids.

Walking outside with my son after it rains.

My “life” talks with my eldest daughter in the car.

Writing a post for 50,000 people, in my pajamas.

Feeling sick and lying in bed all day without having to call my boss.

Showing my 2-year-old the clear starry sky.

Cheering my kids on in their soccer games.

Time alone with a good book.

Freshly brewed coffee.

My hot veggie soup on a cold day.

Writing before the sun rises.

Fresh, cold berries.

A long conversation with a friend.

Succumbing to a mid-afternoon nap.

Playing kickball in the yard with my kids.

The feeling of satisfaction after a workout.

Waking up to a clean, uncluttered living room.

Laughing at my 4-year-old son’s wacky sense of humor.

Screaming my head off when my son scores a goal.

Collapsing after finishing a marathon, exhausted but in love with life.

Spending time with my mom and sisters on a Saturday afternoon, baking sweets.

Letting a warm chocolate chip cookie melt in my mouth with my eyes closed.

A long hot shower.

Walking with the sand between my toes as the sun goes down.

Listening to the sound of waves lapping a white sand beach.

A hug when I need it.

Dew on the grass in the morning.

简单的生活

宁静的早晨。

与我的小宝贝在车里唱一首悠长的歌。

夕阳，啤酒，爱人。

长跑后的酣畅淋漓。

蜷在沙发上，与妻子孩子一起看碟。

和我的儿子在雨中散步。

在车里与我的大女儿谈论我的“人生”。

穿着睡裤，写一篇文章，读者50000人。

感觉不舒服，躺在床上一整天，不用给老板打电话。

带我那两岁的孩子看星星布满的夜空。

为孩子们的足球赛加油喝彩。

独自一人，读一本好书。

喝一杯煮好的咖啡，精神饱满。

寒冷冬日的一碗热蔬菜汤。

在太阳升起前写作。

新鲜，冰镇的浆果。

和好友的一次促膝长谈。

午后禁不住打个小盹。

和我的孩子在花园里踢球。

经历考验后的满足感。

醒来发现躺在整洁的卧室里。

对我四岁儿子独特的幽默感哈哈大笑。

为我儿子的进球得分尖叫。

在跑完马拉松后瘫倒在地，精疲力竭但挚爱着生活。
