Happy
February 24, 2010 | Blogland games,Stuff,Words
Magpie Musing makes me think. She also makes me happy. She’s inspired me (again), this time to think about what makes me happy. Here’s a list.
- Books
“Nothing is more human than a book.” ~ Marilynne Robinson, The Paris Review, Issue 186, Fall 2008.
- Laughter
- Hugs your body fits right into
- Lists — making them, crossing them off
- Brilliant summer greens
- Blooming azaleas
- Angel-food cake
- Making a good meal then sitting down to eat it with people I love (and some wine, of course)
- Coffee
- The orange sky that makes my kids say, “Mommy, that’s such a beautiful sunset! I bet you wish you had your camera.” (Yep.)
- Music, music, music ~ How can you listen to any of these songs and not at least smile? Say Hey (I Love You), Michael Franti; Love Serenade, The Waifs; Sweet Potato Pie, James Taylor; How I do math: Una mas cervesa + Billy Bacon & the Forbidden Pigs + the Zoo Bar = One Mighty Tasty Tex-Mex Bluesbilly Taco

And I love that I don’t know any of your music. Things to check out!

A great list of things to make one happy! I love music and am getting to know my piano again and enjoying it.
