What makes "you" happy?
Here's part of my list:
1) Sitting by the lake in a camp chair, on a warm sunny day, with my toes in the water.
2) Going to the drive-in movie with my husband and kids.
3) Watching kittens play (we are fostering kittens right now)
4) Seeing my kids faces lit up, excited about telling me something.
5) Secretly sneaking out to swing on the kid's swingset while they are at school.
6) The moment of "aha!" when I learn something new.
7) Camping outside in a tent.. In the backyard.
8) Reading a book and getting to that point where you carry it with you everywhere since you don't want to put it down... just one more page.
9) The smell and feel of getting into bed when the sheets and blankets are freshly washed.
10) Doing something a little special for myself, like getting a pedicure, or my eyebrows waxed.

    Not to get all girly, but yeah, fresh linen on the bed is awesome, especially when the whole room is clean, vacuumed, and dusted.

    The feel of new clothes.

    Seeing plants that disappeared during the winter spring out and just SHOW OFF. Hyacinths, azaleas, forsythia, iris, daffodils, tulips, camellias, wild plum and cherry - you guys make my spring ROCK when you finally show up after a long, dreary, and grey winter.

    Getting all my boxes and bins labeled and stored away.

    Seeing the blue skies and sun. It's Seattle, and we just don't get enough of that. Today the lake outside my office window is blue and sparkling. Just saw a seaplane take off.

    1) Campfires and clear night skies.
    2) Beer pancakes al fresco.
    3) Enjoying a clear mountain stream, the quiet, and the wildlife.
    4) Zipping up the next size smaller jeans.
    5) Flirting.
    6) The company of a good dog.
    7) A sense of accomplishment.
