room with a view, honesty, and popsicles

1. I'm spending my long weekend writing a paper. While that's not particularly beautiful, I have access to a laptop so I can sit on my couch and stare out at the sunshine while I write
2. Friends who say it like it is even when I can't quite do the same
3. Two children in front of me in line at the grocer's jump up and down with excitement as their dad buys a box of pink popsicles
