Quick answer– when I’ve had a decent night’s sleep, the alarm goes off, and I’m ready to get up and start my day with some cold brew and time to write.
Longer answer– when my wife and I share a laugh, which is more rare than it once was; connecting with the grandkids; when the words come and I write something that turns out the way I was hoping; the anticipation of a visit to or from someone; the joy of sitting at the keyboard and stumbling onto a chord progression that reminds me of a song; a well-struck drive off the tee; a well-composed picture; and news that the world may not be teetering as close to the edge as is often reported.
