Elena,

You sound like my identical twin :) I was getting ready to write this exact same post, except that my kids prefer to walk by themselves now and I am in Santa Barbara! :)

What makes me happy? Waking up and having a lazy morning with my kids, then being the last one to bed with some quiet time for reading my book of choice for the week! I love long bike rides. giving my kids wonderful surprises, and Mud Hens baseball games in the summer!

my family and faith are the #1 joys in my life. Getting a spa massage and having a romantic dinner on the porch with my husband also makes me happy:)

Happiness for me is ongoing. It doesn't matter what's happening around me or even involving me, I can still be happy in there somewhere. Of course it depends on if I'm hurting or not.

The fact that my family is alright is something I'm so very thankful for and thank God.

I try to find the good part in the world because it seems the news thrive on selling bad and destructive to create fear in the hearts.

So you do have to make a choice how you wish to live your life and in the end where you'll want to go to.

Hence my religious faith is Christianity.

So in the midst of the uncertainty, joy comes because I like to believe if I die now, God will be there to guide me home.

Hmm what makes me happy let's see

My children all of them and what they have accomplished especially my son with Autism he is about to graduate from the 8th grade and on to High School a day we all prayed for to happened.

Seeing my husband the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night.

Calling my mommy long distance and listen to her sing to me when I am having a bad day.
Even though I have a few health issues I can wake up each morning and give thanks to God for all of his blessings.

My true friends, Jolly Ranchers, Arizonia Ice tea, and my big warm rug rats blanket lol

Spending time with my family
My independent, 5 yr old granddaughter Makenzi and I like to explore. One of our favorite things to do is nature watching. In order to nature watch correctly, according to expert Makenzi, you will need a blanket, picnic basket filled with goodies she designs and makes and a good spot under a tree. Last week our picnic menu included cheese sandwiches topped with strawberry jelly (an acquired taste), red grapes and lemonade from her lemonade stand (I had to pay for my cup). We packed everything up and went to the backyard to find our spot under a tree. Then we lay there eating our lunch watching the birds, squirrels and other animals do their thing. We’ve even seen a Tyrannosaurus in the clouds. We have our best talks under those trees! I’m going to miss her when she starts school this Fall!
It also makes me happy when I get feedback from a customer who really enjoys my products

Other than my family and just watching my kids grow up....creating something! Whether it's a great meal that everyone enjoys, a incredible photograph/shot or a flower arrangement for someone. I enjoy creating things that bring enjoyment to others.

When my family is happy, I am happy.
When I finish a Storybook about my children, my story, our family yearbook, I feel happy and accomplished.
When my garden is flourishing, and producing fruit and vegetables, I am happy!
When I get good news from family and friends, I am happy!
When I can help somebody in any way, from a simple smile to a meal cooked, or a book created, I am happy.

When I get my chocolate from Italy, I am in Heaven;)
