Here is a list of things, simple or not, in no particular order, that make me happy. I thought I'd share them... hope you enjoy!
1 - A clean kitchen
2 - A freshly laundered pile of burp cloths
3 - My Mom's homecooked dinners
4 - A full tank of gas
5 - Beautiful, shiny Steinway grands... :)
6 - A clean husband (nothing like that freshly-showered scent)
7 - Reading outloud
8 - Spending time with family
9 - Ice cream! (anyone who knows me remotely well would know that's one of my VERY favorite things...)
10 - Hugging
11 - Finishing a book (because this usually never happens for me, it's one of those things that makes me supremely happy at having accomplished)
12 - Writing by hand
13 - Being in church
14 - Date nights
15 - Dressing up
16 - A good cry
and the best for last....
17 - Making my husband laugh - not just a chuckle or outright grin, but that knee-slapping, head-rolling, totally-caught-me-off-guard laugh which lasts a minute or two
What are some of your favorites?
