Okay, here goes. List some of the things that make you happy. VERY Happy. But wait! There are a few catches....
we ALL have families and churches and homes and friends and pets that make us happy so no listing those! We all enjoy love and peace and hugs and that sort of thing. I am looking for the people (NOT Family and Friends), places (NOT home or church home) and things that cause you to feel all giddy and sparkly and do the happy dance. Okay, not necessarily THAT happy (But they COULD do that!) but you get my drift right? Or have I muddled up these directions to the point of complete confusion? Yeah, I know I have a tendency to do that but hey...
AND you need to add a picture of those things that make you really happy. Captions with the pictures are fine. Just think of those small things (or NOT so small) in life that are not *necessary* to our individual survival but just help make your life a bit sweeter.
So, to lead all of us off, here is a list of *some* of the things that just make me happy. I am a none too deep, fairly one dimensional gal so no big surprises! And yes, food stuffs are a big part of this list. BIG shock huh? Could I live without any of these? Uh huh. Would I WANT to? Nah.....
So, in no particular order, deep breath, here goes!

Mr. Rogers (and I have no small children in the house)
The aroma of newly mown grass in Spring
The aroma of woodsmoke in Autumn

ReplyDeleteI LOVED your list....just looking at yours made me smile BIG! Gotta love you for that.
ReplyDeletegreat list. Hope you are felling better.
ReplyDeleteWell thank goodness for Brian. I would've felt like you had cheated us all if not for a photo of him. :O) Seriously, I can wholeheartedly agree with the cuppa, the chocolates, and the rabbits. Perfume is good, too. I always want my kids to remember that I was the mommy that smelled sweet. Have a great week.
