Things That Make Me Happy

1. Those first home-grown tomatoes coming off the vine. They are all good, but those first ones are a treasure.

2. Dead snakes. I almost always turn around to go back and look twice. I almost always clap. Today my daughter saw one and I wasn't in the car ---- she clapped for me.

3. Laughter. Especially pure, unplanned laughter.

4. Having all 4 of my family under the same roof. Those days are numbered, I know.

5. Worship music.

6. Friday lunches at Raunchy Burrito with my husband, the love of my life.

7. Friends. Real friends. The kind you can be ugly with.

8. Coffee. Specifically a good old-fashioned caramel mocha latte.

9. Chocolate in any form.

10. Belonging to Jesus. There is nothing more comforting.

There are other things that make me happy, but this is a good start.
