Things That Make Me Happy.

I am not mentioning people, since they are not things (it's just one of my weird pet peeves):

1. Books - that one's obvious, they make me soo happy that I imagine Hell to be a place with no books.

2. Summer - the hotter the better (I hate winter and cold temperatures).

3. Sun - if I can't have summer and warm days, a sunny day even in the winter time will make me happy.

4. Travel - even though I don't really do much of it, not yet at least, the prospect of going places and seeing beautiful things and worlds makes me very happy and worth looking forward to.

5. Full tank of gas - I know, it's mundane but I can breathe with relief when I know that I actually won't have to be stuck home forever.

6. Library book sales - I love it, love it, love it! Ninety percent of my personal library is built from used books purchased at the library sale. I own many bestsellers and for very little I can afford the luxury of being surrounded by books.

I love all those things. I used to go to Library book sales all the time. My husband said I had to weed out my books to make room for the living beings so I stopped attending the sales. I really do not like parting with my books but many of them were self help and I donated them to my counselor.

I would probably take out the last one and in my children and music.

Good list!

Great list! I too love books and I'm trying to avoid book sales since my office is full!

Congratulations on being MOTD.

nice list! Thrift stores and yard sales are also great ways to pick up books for even less than library sales! Congrats on being MOTD for Be Kind To Others

Sounds good to me except for the sun. I get sick if I am to hot or get to much sun. Otherwise, rock on!

Congrats on your RAOC-MOTD, Stephanie! Here's a 10 for you!

That's a great list! My daughter's laughter makes me smile, although that technically isn't a thing!
