Things That Make Me Happy...#1-12

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?
