Wow! 30 Things That Make Me Happy!

I could probably list 30 things and then make sub-categories under each one. But I’ll try to stay within the limits of the assignment. Okay, here goes:

1. Knowing Jesus Christ
2. Teaching God’s Word
3. Praying with and for others and helping them receive from the Lord
4. Writing – fiction, non-fiction, & poetry
5. Creating Book Covers
6. Drinking Coffee
7. Visiting with friends — especially when we drink coffee at the same time. 🙂
8. Eating chocolate
9. Eating bacon
10. Eating mashed potatoes
11. Christmas — decorating, gift buying, family get-to-gethers — everything
12. Sunrises
13. Sunsets
14. Spending time at the ocean
15. Spending time in the Smoky Mountains
16. Painting & Sketching — watercolor, acrylics, ink
17. Painting birds in particular — my imaginative versions of birds
18. The stars when they seem bright & close
19. Playing music – mainly keyboard
20. Teaching writing
21. Teaching people how to use and be comfortable with computers & the Internet
22. Reading Miss Read books
23. Reading A Redbird Christmas — over and over
24. Reading The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency Series
25. Reading a Good Cozy Mystery
26. Playing with dogs
27. Singing — mostly privately as worship
28. Dancing
29. Autumn — especially the whole month of October
30. Remembering all the blessed times I’ve had with loved ones

This exercise has been fun. It really refreshes the soul to sit and think about things that make us happy.  I probably need to do this at least once a week.
