Happy List, Anyone????

18 Comments/ 3038/ 0
.

Mine would have so many things……

The first night sitting out on the deck in the spring wearing short sleeves.

Watching the birds flit to and from our bird feeders.

Seeing a child on the beach playing in the sand.

The perfect cup of tea poured into my favorite Teavana cup.

That moment when I see my sons for the first time after being apart for a long time.

The frost on the trees on a winter morning as it sparkles and shines like diamonds.

The comment on my blog that brings a smile to my face.

The list goes on and on and on.  What’s on YOUR list?

    Seeing one or more of my children driving into my driveway for a visit.
    Waking up with the sun shining with no snow covering the ground. {it did not happen today}.
    Making a new friend.

    Beaker!!!! How could you NOT be happy about Beaker? that is awesome. cats being “love drunk” – so true. LOL
    I would definitely have that first cup of coffee on my list. but yes, overall, I agree with the concept that happiness is finding those little treasured moments that are scattered throughout our lives/days. you have to find them and hold on to them.

    Seeing my children play with abandon on the beach is definitely on the top of my list. There’s nothing like the sand, the waves and their laughter and squeals…

    Rubbing my dog’s tummy when she’s having a bad dream and having it go away. I hear Pix Under the Oaks about Cheeseburgers – oh yeah!

    Digging my toes into warm sugar white sand, feeling my daughter’s arms around me & smelling her beautiful perfume when we hug, having my beloved Bandit lean into me when he wanted to snuggle, listening to the rain while laying in bed reading a book.

    This reminds me of “1,000 Gifts” by Ann Voskamp. Watching squirrels in their silliness, seeing the blue jay flit around the hanging peanut feeder and grabbing one without stopping, time spent with grandkids…so many things, every day.

    Definitely jogging in shorts for the first time all year. I actually had the joy of doing this last week-but I was in Tennessee so it doesn’t really count. When I can run in shorts in Madison, WI I’ll know it’s really spring!! 🙂

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
