7. A cold drink on a hot day

Taking the first sip of an ice cold beverage on a hot sweaty sunny day is one of the greatest pleasures I can think of. It's so intensely satisfying and makes you feel alive and well after sweltering in the heat. I remember when I used to play softball in the dead of the summer and sweat through every inch of my jersey, and every time the inning ended and I got back to the bench and took a sip from the water jug full of ice cold water, it was like nothing had ever felt that good before. Today was super hot and I already have a sunburn, and drinking an ice cold diet coke on the mall was exactly what I needed after playing catch in the sun.
