I’m too late for this, but I thought it was a great idea, so I’m posting this anyway. Chris, writer of “Enchanted Oak” blog, challenged bloggers to post a list of simple things that make us happy. For every list posted before midnight LAST NIGHT, she promised to contribute $2 to needs in Haiti. Cool idea! Here’s the link to her blog: http://chrisalba-enchantedoak.blogspot.com/. Please visit her. She’s doing good stuff and I want to encourage that. And, just as a way to start my day off with a bit of sunshine, here’s my list for right now:
- Hugs from my kids
- My silly little dogs snuggling by me at night
- The smell of cinnamon
- Candlelight
- Playing the piano
- A glass of wine at the end of a long day
- My morning radio DJs who always make me laugh!
Have a great day, my friends!! And post your own list — just because you can 🙂
One Mom Talking: The ongoing story of one mom, three teens, and heroin. 
Thanks for the post.
This a great idea and I do like your list.
My dogs meeting me at the door everytime I come in makes me smile. Doesn’t even matter if I just stepped to the curb to get the mail..they are always excited.
Also, hearing a newcomer tell their story and admit they are an addict.
Thanks, Mike. I sure appreciate your heart for our struggling loved ones! Thanks for all that you do to help!
I have to admit that the snow outside today is not making me smile. BUT, that first snowfall of the year, the one that leaves the trees glistening — that’s another nice moment.
I like your list! I just just watched an old episode of NCIS (yay for Netflix!) with my DD1 and each of us was under a quilt with our own “personal space heater” – a puppy! 🙂
