Happy Belated New Year!

I was recently asked at work to name something that is unique, enjoyable, or interesting to me. My response was something vague about concentrating on the things that I truly enjoy and to not want for more. I didn't explain it very well obviously, but the idea I had in mind is something that is commonly conveyed at zenhabits.net. I guess to be zen is to be efficient at counting your blessings. In particular I love this post on 75 simple pleasures also from zenhabits.net. So, instead of posting about typical new year's resolutions, I am going to list some things that make my day.
