What Makes You Happy?

I stopped at 21.....but once I started....I could have kept going and going.

For some reason, I was having a blah morning. Have you ever had one of those? So I decided I better nip that in the bud real fast. I gave myself 10 minutes to list some things that make me Happy. It's in no particular order.

I like baking cookies chocolate cookies with my family and eating as many as I want.

I like the feel of sand under my feet and waves lapping against my legs as I look for shells.

I like when I coach someone and there’s that click when you know they ‘get it.’

I like the concentration it takes when I’m coloring within the lines.

I like looking at paintings and drifting into the world inside the colors.

I like walking around the neighborhood discovering something new each time.

I like the sound of the crack of dawn.

I like watching romantic movie marathons on a lazy Sunday afternoon

I like being surrounded by pillows.

I like to sing to myself as I walk down the aisle of the grocery store and watch other people smile

I like looking at pictures of my parents and remembering all of my childhood fun.

I like watching a little baby watching me and wondering what’s on their mind.

I like the smell of a flower shop with the wonderful combination of aromas.

I like how red lipstick makes my Smile ‘pop.’

I like speaking to strangers and being able to say something that brightens their day.

I like doing “The Cupid Shuffle.”

I like throwing parties for people and watching them have fun.

I like taste of eating freshly popped popcorn at the movies.

I like sending cards to friends to let them know I was just thinking about them.

I like the excitement of finding a card in the mail from a friend who was just thinking about me.

I like singing and dancing in the car when one of my favorite songs comes on the radio.
