Looking up in the sky and seeing stars.
Peace and quiet.

Making a cup of tea every night; drinking it from an Astroboy mug.

Cheeseburger with extra pickles - just the smell alone.
Being pushed on a swing; jumping as far as I can; trying to break a necklace with my teeth; freezing in the back of a car; being hit with a dead fish.
