10 Things that Make Me Happy

Now it is time to do some more revealing of myself by telling you the 10 things that make me happy. Hope you can relate.

1..The number one thing that makes me happy is my family. I could break it down into children, and grandchildren, but family is family. When my little granddaughter comes to my bed in the middle of the night and wants to sleep with I get tears of joy. Watching the older grandchildren play sports makes me proud and happy. I AM VERY HAPPY TODAY! In a few hours my grandchildren will be here to visit for the week and I haven't seen them in almost 2 months.

2..Friends stopping by to visit. Friends are very important to me and I miss them very much when I don't see them. A few of my long time friends have moved out of my area and I am so pleased when they come to see us.

3..Bowling a good series! I bowl in 3 leagues each week and my bowling average varies from league to league. I would like to be a consistently good bowler, but I guess I don't have that much of an attention span, so when I bowl unusually well,,, it makes my day.

4..Puppies and kittens make me happy also. I love animals as does my whole family. I don't have any animals right now and I really miss having one. Of course, I can't just limit this to domestic animals.
I think horses are one of the most beautiful creatures that God created and just love to watch them run. I also like to watch them win at the race track, lol.

5..God makes me happy. He is always there for me and he accepts me as I am. I don't even accept me as I am and neither does any one else, but God does.

6..Going to my favourite restaurant for dinner makes me happy. Firstly, because I love the food, and secondly, because I didn't have to prepare it. Being married over 40 years, I have cooked a great many meals and I still am, so whenever I get the chance to eat out, I enjoy it immensely.

7..Holding a new born baby makes me happy. Especially if that baby is one of my grandchildren, but since there doesn't appear to be any more grandchildren forthcoming, I just enjoying holding the babies of friends and relatives.

8..Going to Church makes me happy. We belong to a small church and the members are like family to me.I know that they care about me and are happy to see me.
I am happy when I am lifting my voice in Praise to the Lord.

9..A cool, crisp day makes me happy. I do not like the heat or the hot weather. I love to put on sweats without being overheated and enjoy being outside and being comfortable. Taking a walk on a cool day is so invigorating as well as being healthy.

10..Giving makes me happy. I am a very generous person..so is my husband. I love to give gifts to my family. I love to give things to my friends. I love giving to the needy and people who are not as fortunate as I am. Over the years, we have given whole houses of furniture away to people who have needed it, rather than to sell it and make money. When I give something to someone, I am happy and I feel good. Of course, it is much harder for me to receive something. I feel uncomfortable.. Crazy isn't it???

Well now you know a little bit more about this old broad. Hope I didn't bore you.
