A Happiness List.

(Image found here)

A few weeks ago, a dear friend had asked me to write a list of 100 things that made me happy. It was part of a project we were working on for a film, and while I wasn't sure how it was necessary, I did it anyway. I had completely forgotten about it until a fellow friend and blogger mentioned that she was asked to do the same thing by the same person. Not only was I so excited to read Ashley's list, but I was over the moon to remember that I had one of my own!

I quickly went to find it, and when I was able to sit down and read it over I was flooded with happiness. There were so many small and delicate life moments that I love so much, and having them there in front of me, to remind me, was wonderful. So, I thought I'd share a few. After you've read mine, I encourage you to make your own lists and link them to the comments on this post so that I might go back and read them =]
