This week I was pondering what makes me happy.  How do I find joy?

Many of the things that make me happy as an adult were the same things that made me happy when I was a kid.

Some of the things on my “Happy List” are:

• A good conversation
• Splitting wood
• My children smiling
• Listening up beat music
• Going to a good movie
• My cat sitting on my lap
• Shoveling a light snow
• Listening to the rain while seated outside
• Going for a drive to clear my head
• A sharp chain saw
• Walking around my yard and seeing the changes in the gardens
• Walking through a forest
• Organizing things such as my office, the garage and my truck
• A pink sunset

What makes you happy?
