In an effort to get crackin at my 101 list,(I've been slack the past week or so) I've decided to work on at my "50 things that make me happy" list. Some things are very simple, and others may seem foolish. But it's true. Even reading this list makes me happy! I'm sure when you read it, you'll find a thing or two that make you happy, too.
I thought I had to think of 100 things and when I realized it was only 50 I already had 60 so there's a few extra!
1. My amazing friends.
2. My family. I would be lost without them.
3. fireflies.
4. Roxy! haha.
5. The blasty blast. Without her I wouldn’t be able to live in the country!
6. Spontaneous dance parties (in the kitchen).
7. When a really good song comes on that you really wanted to hear. Music in general.
8. Singing everywhere. In the shower, in the car, etc.
9. Puppies, when they’re excited to see you.
10. Big boxes of crayons with the sharpener on the back
11. Digging my toes in the sand at the beach.
12. What a good bottle of wine can do on a bad day.
13. Getting flowers for no reason. Wildflowers are my favorite.
14. The smell of freshly cut grass.
15. Falling asleep to the sound of the rain. I never got to do it when I lived on Hawthorne, or Ponderosa because we were in the basement, and in Dartmouth you could hear the rain, but you could also hear cars, people, etc. When we first moved to Lochaber Road, I can remember having every window in our room wide open and just dozing off to that sound. Most peaceful moment ever. ahhhhh
16. Spontaneous road trips!
17. Taking photos
18. Old cartoons like Merry Melodies, Heckle & Jeckle, etc.

20. Deja Vu

22. Clear, starry summer nights. I love to point out the constellations. It never gets old.
23. Dirty solos.
24. Laughing so hard you get tears in your eyes.
25. Days off with nothing to do but relax.

30. Outdoor live music!
31. Really good conversation with really great friends.
32. Coasting down really big hills that kind of freak you out at first, but in the end, you just let go. Such a great feeling.
33. Warm hugs (When someone unzips their coat and lets you put your arms around their waist when it’s cold.)
34. Charlos Cove. Everything about it. The view, the people, the smell, even the fog. My heart is there 365 days a year.
