Listening to Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". First it reminds me of my dad, who used to play it on the piano when I was very small, then of my late husband who, like me, was a Gershwin fan - I had this piece played at his funeral. First I cry, then I smile.

Anything by Glenn Miller, for the same reasons as above.

The sound of my granddaughter's laugh.

The voice on the phone that says, "Hello Nan, it's Peter" (my 19 year old grandson).

Our cat, sitting on the lawn in the sunshine with her back leg in the air, having a "bath".

Our dear old dog wagging her tail and sniffing the air, when we walk through the fields, and shedding her 16 years for a while.
