Day 7: What Makes You Happy

I consider myself a generally optimistic and happy person, so there are a LOT of things that make me happy. I love being happy! I cry faster from happiness than I do from sadness. Even being happy makes me happy. Here are some things that make me happy (in no particular order):

>When things work out the way you hoped they would.

>When things don't work out the way you hoped they would, but then you find out that God has a better plan for it all.

>My God, Jesus, and His holy presence in my life.

>My friends and family and spending time with them.

>4 AM conversations.

>Blankets.

>My dog, Penny and the way she barks and wags her tail and responds so intuitively to so many things.

>Animals in general.

>MUSIC. I love music so much! If I had the choice to breathe oxygen or breathe music, I would choose music.

>Making up dumb songs about the things I'm doing.

>Movies and theatre.

>Meeting new people.

>Teaching.

>Asking God to grant me a glimpse of the way He sees the world or the people around me, and when He lets me.

>God loves me. And God never loves me, or anyone ever created, any less for anything we ever do.

>Faith, and the fact that I have it.

>Thunderstorms.

>The sea.

>Days when it's 90 degrees and humid outside.

>Learning something new.

>Being able to understand someone else's views without having to adopt them as my own.

>Reading, and everything related to it.

>When my hair does just what I want it to, or something cooler, without any real effort.

>Being barefoot.

>Smiling and hugs.

>Seeing familiar faces.

>Perceiving the world around me.

>Making lists.

There is so much more, but I don't feel I have room in one entry to list everything that makes me happy. There's a universe out there, and a Heaven, and there's too much to list that makes me happy!
