THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY

I made a list a while ago of things that make me sad. It was an easy one to come up with as there are many things that get me down. One of the ways to a HAPPY life for me, is to recognize these things and either find a way to deal with it or avoid the offending action completely.

With that in mind...

I present the same thought from the opposing view – things that make me HAPPY. One of the ways to a HAPPY life for me, is to incorporate as many into my life as often as possible (with the exception of FOOD!)

In no particular order....
