to balance out the "annoying" post, here are some things that bring a smile to my heart ...
10. daydreaming about what might have been, and what might yet be.
9. making people laugh.
8. having someone's full attention.
7. fleece sheets on a comfy bed.
6. smiles. directed at me or someone else - whenever i see someone give another person the gift of a smile it brings one to my face.
5. held doors/elevators (again, for me or someone else)- watching a person put another ahead of self (literally) is a beautiful thing to see.
4. hugs. i don't initiate contact very easily or often, but i am so grateful when other people do!
3. receiving a book instead of flowers. flowers die and i have to dispose of them ... words and ideas last forever! i especially love it when people write a brief message inside.
2. reading an email or text msg, or listening to a voicemail that tells me i have been thought of - the briefest of contact often touches the most deeply.
1. watching a child watch the world. seeing the wonder, the inquisitiveness, even the frustration are a revelation and a replenishing of faith.
what makes you happy??

I'd have to say that laughter is probably number one on the list. Also, being outside in good weather. It always lifts my spirits.
