Things to be Happy about

The daughter of one of my residents brought this book in and said she thought we would enjoy looking at it. It's written by a women who started writing down things that made her happy when she was in sixth grade. The book is a list of 14,000 things that make her happy. She said she loved to look at that list when she was feeling down. What a great idea! We so often miss the small things that make us smile in life. I thought I would share some of the things that make me happy.
  • a gentle rainfall
  • the smell of fresh cut grass
  • hearing from my son
  • the vase of sunflowers on my table
  • the smell of fresh cut grass
  • seeing an elderly couple holding hands
  • Dove dark chocolate
  • hearing a baby laugh
  • seeing a fresh coating of white on everything after it snows
  • blooming flowers
  • coming home to a clean house
  • knowing God is in control
