Things That Make Me Happy: # 41 through 60

Perhaps I'm not the happiest person around, because this is surprisingly hard. For any one who's new here, I decided in June that I would list 100 things that make me happy. And I decided to break the list into groups of 20. It's not easy!

Any way, here's my next list:

41. Jumping in a mud puddle
42. Remembering that my little brother used to call them, "Muddles"
43. Lunch with my Mom
44. Daily emails from my Aunt Liz.
45. A boss that makes me laugh
46. new socks
47. A pedicure. That reminds me....
48. Watching one of the survivors I work with, Graduate from college.
49. Seeing a Newfoundland.
50. Lying on the beach for an afternoon
51. Raking up a huge pile of leaves
52. Jumping in the huge pile of leaves.
53. My bike.
54. A new bathing suit.
55. Seeing fireworks with Mackenzie and Jack.
56. A phone call from Shayna, when I can hear the happiness in her voice.
57. Eating dinner on my front porch.
58. Real mail- that isn't a bill.
59. Post cards
60. Fresh strawberries from our strawberry patch.

Go on...Start your own list.

Thinking Positive: A List

This is sort of a morphed version of a recent blog from http://windchasers.blogspot.com/, where she started to develop a "Bucket list". I like that idea, and I'm sure I'll do a version of it in the future.

But for now, I'm feeling like it's a good time to reflect on some of the best things in life. So, my goal is to list 100 things that make me happy.

Here's the start (I doubt I'll get 100 all in one sitting)

Things That Make Me Happy:

1. Watching a thunderstorm roll across the sky
2. Hearing the uncontrolled giggles of my children.
3. Watching Jack learn to swim.
4. Listening to Mackenzie read to Jack.
5. A heartfelt conversation with Shayna.
6. Camping in the Adirondacks...even if it rains.
7. Spending an afternoon at the Clark Art Institute.
8. Hiking to the Top of Mount Sleeping Beauty.
9. Painted toenails.
10. Holding hands with Kevin.
11. Cheering Mackenzie on as she caught her first fish.
12. Shahi Paneer.
13. Sharing Shahi Paneer with shayna.
14. Sharing a bottle of Wolf Blass Chardonnay with friends.
15. Taking a walk with Kevin.
16. Birthday cake!
17. My moms Strawberry upside down cake.
18. Kevin playing the saxophone
19. A long bike ride by myself.
20. A long bike ride by myself on a Saturday morning, while every one else is asleep.

Okay-That's 20! Maybe I'll do 20 at a time.

Does any one else have a list?
