What Makes Me Happy

I was asked the other day about what makes me happy. Being a fairly happy person, I answered without much thought. But my answer wasn't good enough. So I tried again. Fail. He said that I base my happiness on others and that I'm a "fixer," so I think I'm happy when I make other people happy. Apparently that isn't real and that I have to come up with things that make me happy that are all about me. So here goes.

I love it when I shave my legs and they're silky smooth. I like it when my hair does what I want it to do. I love getting into bed after I've changed the sheets and made it all perfect. My perfect smile makes me happy. I like when I understand a concept and it actually sticks with me. Thinking about the future makes me get all excited to have kids and a family. I can't wait to go on vacations and hang out and make dinner together and all sorts of stuff like that. The smell of the morning (not in Ephraim because it smells like farming...) or after the rain brings a smile to my face. I absolutely love new shoes and clothes, especially when I wear them and look in the mirror and love who and what I see. I like to see other people smile and I like babies...when they're cute and not crying. I love it when I get to see my family and we do stuff that is fun. Swimming...well, playing around in pools is one of my favorite things to do, especially after work at Draper Pool with my old work pals. This is sounding redundant with all of the "I like" and "I love"s, but my creative side is failing me right now. I like writing though, but mostly about things I know and am interested in...such as myself and men. That stuff fills my life to the brim. I like walking out into the sunshine, putting on some sunglasses and just going for a walk because I feel like doing it. What's better than summer? Nothing. One of my most favorite things is watching romance movies because when they kiss at the end, I know that feeling of love and belonging and the taste of a kiss, but more than I love kissing, I love, love, love cuddling! It doesn't even matter who...well obviously it has to be with someone I like, but...ya know. Music makes me happy and so do books. Having the most amazing family on earth is such a blessing and I couldn't ask for more.

I have been asked to leave...so I guess I'll write again...sometime. :) Sayonara! ;)
