Happy List

I feel compelled to make a list today. Maybe it's because I have lots of things to do this weekend, so I'm already in mental check-list mode. I dunno. Doesn't matter. Lately, I've been thinking of things that make me very happy, so I'll share a few...

Love
Surprises
Chatting on the phone with dear, dear friends
Tulips (my favorite!!)
Mint green tea
Redbuds in bloom
Driving with the windows down
The pops and cracks of my old vinyl albums
Laughing so hard it makes me cry
Having flowers sent to me
Robert Frost
Trying to figure out how to take new kinds of pictures
Writing letters
Spending lazy afternoons wandering through record stores
Trying new things
Getting my hands dirty while gardening
Not turning the TV on
Summer days at the lake
Roller coasters
Red shoes
A clean house
Natural light
Spending the entire day outside (even if I am allergic to it!)
Taking naps
Not wearing a watch and being completely unaware of the time
Cooking with fresh rosemary
