identify 100 things that make me happy (besides money)

I have a lot of acquaintances. People, that I know and like, but don’t do much more than talk with when I run into them at odd places. These are the people that every time we meet, we say we need to get together more often. We seem to get along but don’t really have time to make time for each other. The people that I’m writing about are not these. To spend time with a good friend just hanging out over coffee, or walking together on the beach is so fulfilling. Someone who you know you can say anything to, and they will understand you. They are the people that bring the most joy to me.

I can’t say exactly why music is such a joy to me. I just know that when I hear a song I like, my spirits are lifted. Music is so primal, so instinctive.

Simply sitting in a comfortable chair, or laying in bed with a good book is a joyful thing. It’s relaxing, and pleasurable. The brain is engaged, as well as entertained. I love it!

1) Top of the list is my daughters. They do so many wonderful things every day. It is a complete joy to watch them grow and learn. I can think of no greater honor than to be their mother.
