13. Gazing at an intense, romantic, inspirational fire in the sky sunset
14. Seeing the excitement on my son’s face after he’s finally hit some bowling ball pins down, or the delight on his face when he’s telling me about a girl he’s really crushing on, or the jubilant grin when he’s beat me at a video game.
Grateful for Touch
15. Having the ability to feel pain when I stub my toe (not that I like stubbing my toe)
