Happiness

So the other day I was asking Ryan just some random questions like "What is something that has really hurt you" or "Who (besides me of course) do you feel has had the biggest influnce on your life?" just any question that came to mind. One question I asked him was "what brings you happiness?" and he answered walking outside on a warm day and feeling the sun. It got me thinking of all the small things I need to remember that bring me happiness. So I thought I would list a few things that I really love & enjoy. I would also encourage all my sister & in-laws to do the same I love reading about what others find their happiness in also, heaven knows we could all find a little more of it. So here it goes.
1. Having it be light outside until 9:00 pm
2 The smell of the grass after the lawns been mowed
3. The T.V show, Lost, Prisionbreak, 24, Heros & Homemakeover
4. Homemade Hot Fudge over Ice Cream
5. A peaceful quiet morning with no one except myself
6. Laying on the couch reading one of the Twlight books. (Yeah
can't wait for the next one)
7. Having a good long talk on the phone with a sister or friend.
8. Running on a early summer morning listening to my ipod.
9. Giving Ryan a big hug and feeling total comfort.
10. Watching John & Kate plus 8 (Kate's my true mother hero)
11. Having a new idea for dinner.
12. Seeing my kids when I pick them up from school
13. The 24th & 4th of July prade & Fireworks
14. Love, Love, Love it when all my house is clean (not to often that happens. And it actually smells good at the same time)
15. The feeling I have after I have made it through another sunday.
16. Listening to Ryan play the piano.
17. Diet Coke (need I say more)
18. My kids birthdays.
19. Cafe Rio
20.Getting back into my jeans after a pregnancy.(vein I know, but It makes me happy)
Have a great day. Angie

Angie, this was a great experience for me to do! (it's posted on my blog) It's like a mini gratitude journal entry - it really makes you find the little things. Thanks again!

Ang, wow that's really cool how many little things you have that make you happy. I'm very impressed. I think I need to do a little more thinking about the small everyday things that bring me happiness. Thanks for getting me thinking.
