30 things that make you happy but let’s start with 10

Lesley posted on, The Time of My Life blog 10 simple things that make her happy.  Some items on the list include Rainbows, kisses and chocolate. That’s a good list but I think mine would be a MacBook touch tablet and faster internet. Could you list 30 things that make you happy?

admin

Here’s a list of 10 simple things that make me happy. They’re the first things that crossed my mind. Now that my brain is cranking, I keep thinking of more (not a bad thing)! These are in no particular order (although hugs and kisses from George remain high on the list on any given day, not just on Tuesdays!):

Ten simple things that make Ginny happy? Let’s give this a go. In no particular order:
1. Good coffee (none of that Folgers stuff) with cream and Splenda.
2. Random Acts of Kindness (both given and received). An easy one is leaving your change in the vending machine for the next guy.
3. Snail mail (letters and cards from friends and family, again both given and received).
4. Exploring a city (any city) by myself.
5. Clothes/shoe shopping (Endorphins kick in when I’m around pretty clothes. It helps to have extra cash to buy them).
6. The Sunday New York Times (print edition).
7. Chatting with my 13-year-old sister about the stuff that’s important to her (my life was so much simpler at that age).
8. Capturing an awesome moment in time with my camera
9. My kitties.
10. Sincerity.
