To temper recent electoral anxieties, I'll assign this. It's useful to keep a sense of perspective.

Cooking fudge for the first time and having it actually turn out decent.

Having Jelly Babies for dinner. I blame this guy.

I do make quite a good chocolate fudge (though a cheffy friend said it was really ganache) but the last time I did something involving boiling sugar the instructions were a bit iffy and the pan had to be cleaned with a chisel.

Nerdy things.

And May the Fourth be with you.

Having an unpleasant task unexpectedly canceled.

Windless days with -1C and gentle fluffy snow in the winter. Absolutely wonderful days, and perfectly canonical Shire weather.

Those impressions that take you back in time, and let you vividly remember days of pure joy.

It can be a whiff of fresh air with a hint of rosy smell, that reminds me of how my mother used to smell when I hugged her as she picked my up from kindergarten. It can be a song from a children movie that reminds me of how I used play with my friend Lise.

You know, those small things, that bring about an incredibly specific memory, perhaps one you had forgotten.
