Okay guys! Here's the challenge...see how many things you can come up with that makes you happy. I could easily add 100 more things to this list! Let me know if you create a list so I can see what I'm missing!

Wonderful list! It's great to take a little minute and remember all that does make us happy...but wait? did you mention the boys? Oh yes #1 :)
i did a list and could have easily done another 100 too!
hope you have a splendid weekend!
Anna, either I am an ungrateful old bat, or I am depressed, but I started a list and got to 13, then I was stumped. Couldn't put Jill down, she tore apart the large sofa pillow while we were gone today. Couldn't be DH, who treated the situation badly and got all over me because I didn't leave her outside when we left. Going out to dinner is out, because look what I cam home to. You can see my problem........... :(
Six. Oh well.
When you first think about it, coming up with 100 things that make you happy sounds pretty daunting. But after reading your post and Pixie's it seems like you could go on and on and on. I think I'll give it a try tomorrow--right now I'm none too happy with the real estate people over in Florida. Now if you asked me to list 100 things that piss me off about real estate people in Florida . . .
Great list. Funny how once you start the list keeps growing. Have a nice weekend!
Very nice list!!! Stopped at 275!!!!
I cheated- being happy makes me happy (and now I've got a bit of extra time to do it!)
Have a lovely weekend- and a happy one
xx
Great! I love your idea. One thing that would for sure be on my list would be discovering your blog, and your great sense of humor! ZOotsuitmama
Great list, hard to beat the small and simple things in life!
I loved learning more about you and what makes you happy - It was great seeing all the things that make you smile! Thanks for participating:)
Your list made me happy! I love positive people! Lots of things make me happy (too many to list), and I like the idea of taking the time to think about them. Thanks for the idea!!!
