Happiness is…

As I finished my last Writer’s Workshop with the complaint that I was complaining… Mama Kat heard me (and some others) agree.

So this week:

List ten things that make you HAPPY.

The Ocean. I love the sound of waves crashing. It’s comfort food for the soul.
My Garden. Even though I don’t work at a garden with constant dedication, I do love that what I do turns into the best tasting gems! I pray this year will be great.
Hubby. He makes me laugh every day. He puts up with me and he loves me. It’s that the best?!
Shadow. She is always glad to be with me. She follows me everywhere. She never complains. She’s happy; so am I.
Dark Chocolate. Everyday. Followed by a glass of red wine.
Silence and being alone. As much as I am a people person, I can’t wait to have time alone. Ahhh the dichotomy!
My kids. They are a pain, but they also are the best. I can’t imagine how boring my life would be without them!
Bargains. Coming out of the thrift store with a big bag that cost me less than 40 bucks for things that I could never justify otherwise.
Friends. No matter what kind of friends. Thick and thin, nothing’s taboo friends. Haven’t seen you for ages but it feels like yesterday friends. Love that!
Creating. I have longed to create ever since I can remember. I have dabbled in many outlets. Painting and Drawing. Sewing and Needlecrafts. Theatre. Music. Photography. Writing. They all make time fly. They also all make me very happy!
