Joyful Transformation

I received the following tag from Khris:
Here's how it works. When you are tagged you must post 10 interesting and little known facts about yourself.

Chris’s request: List 25 things that make me happy (besides my purple hi-tops…aw man!)

Since I do not have a lengthy or even a short list of interesting things about me, perhaps it will be interesting and little known what makes me happy….however, I must start with a disclaimer. I don’t think anything can “make” me or anyone else happy. Happiness is a choice, more of an attitude that an event. I am very happy though and I can list moments of “joy” that help to make me the happy person that I am. Here goes….

1. My grandson
   a. The way he gets so excited when he sees his Mi-Mi
   b. The way he says “I don’t know”
   c. His constant activity
   d. I laugh out loud when he dances! So incrediblely cute!
2. The anticipation of triplets.
3. Family time with my kids and their families
4. Family time with my brothers and parents
5. Time spent intellectually sparring with my husband
6. Time spent taking a nap with my husband (OK taking a nap, period)
7. Walking outside barefooted in November
8. Leaves falling
9. Sunshine warming my skin
10. Feeling the wind blow
11. Moonlit nights, especially on the lake
12. Gorgeous sunsets
13. My dogs
14. Starting a good book
15. Finding out there is a sequel to one of my favorite books
16. Buying a book
17. Writing my thoughts
18. Going back and reading what I have written and thinking Wow, I wrote that!
19. Time spent with my girl-friends
20. Mexican Restaurants with a best friend
21. Playing tennis
22. Figuring out a problem through logic
23. Comments on my blog post
24. Worshipping God in song with others
25. Meeting brothers and sisters here on earth while looking forward to meeting them again in heaven!
    
    

I didn’t even get to beaches, boats and all that stuff. Life is good, find joy in ordinary moments!
