People ponder happiness all of the time, and as I was journaling this morning I felt compelled to write down those things or circumstances that make me happy. These are in no particular order, and I will be adding to the list continuously. So, without any further ado...
What Makes Me Happy...
1. Being in my husband's arms.
2. The laughter of my children.
3. "Electric" sunsets
4. Music that transcends and touches the ethereal, be it Beethoven, Pink Floyd instrumentals, or Mercy Me's "God With Us."
5. Sitting at the beach and watching the waves and listening to them crash on the shore.
6. Body surfing/boogie-boarding and riding the wave in.
7. The smell of a sweet olive tree.
8. The beginning of a road trip.
9. Intense sunshine on a cool fall day.
10. A warm fire in a quiet house on a cool morning.
11. Saturday mornings in the fall - crisp, cool, sunny, peaceful, fresh coffee brewing and bacon frying.
12. Dolphins.
What makes you happy?

"Eternal God, unchanging
Mysterious and unknown
Your boundless love unfailing
In grace and mercy shown
Bright seraphim in ceaseless flight
Around your glorious throne
Their voices raised both day and night
In praise to you alone
Hallelujah!
Glory be to our great God
Hallelujah!
Glory be to our great God!
Lord, we are weak and frail,
Helpless in the storm
Surround us with your angels
Hold us in your arms
Our cold and ruthless enemy
His pleasure is our harm
Rise up, oh Lord, and he will flee
Before our Sovereign God
Hallelujah!
Glory be to our great God!
Hallelujah!
Glory be to our great God!
Let every creature in the sea
And every flying bird
Let all the mountains, all the fields
And valleys of the earth
Let all the moons and all the stars
Throughout the universe
Sing praises to the Living God
Who rules them by His word
Hallelujah!
Glory be to our great God
Hallelujah!
Glory be to our great God!"

I love this song!

A New Cooking Find...
I am always looking for new recipes to cook because I get incredibly bored with the same old-same old. During the week we live off of my crock-pot cooking, and I came across this site while searching for recipes. Maybe someone else can benefit, too:)
