January Bliss List

If you have no idea what I mean by a Bliss List, take a look in the archives at this post first and then come back. Seriously, go ahead, I'll wait. Are you back? Good. Then here's a list of some of the little things making me feel Blissful in January. A lot of them seem to have to do with warmth and comfort - go figure!

• Starting to draw a little again, after not doing more than quick design sketches for many years
• A brand new box of colored pencils, rearranged so the color flows just the way I like, still unsharpened and ripe with possibility
• Walking in the woods without bug spray
• Jane Austen
• My favorite acid-green leather gloves (J calls them my "Grinch gloves")
• My soft, oh-so-warm, wonderfully ridiculous-looking fuzzy black hat
• Snuggling under quilts made by friends
• Penguin slippers (just like Whoopi wore in "Jumpin' Jack Flash")
• Cinnamon schnapps on the rocks

What's giving you moments of bliss this month?
