Random thoughts of things that make me happy. . . . .

~being outside as much as possible- hiking, kayaking, biking, playing at the park with my nephews, star gazing- fresh air is best

~enjoying beauty as much as possible- museums, art making, music, singing, theater, nature- life is rich and full with beauty

~staying connected with family and friends- it's good to share, plus being a hermit is less effective

~being of use to others, whether at work, church, friends or family- selflessness is the secret paradox to happiness

~living each day with the choice to have faith and hope in God's plan
