Things that make me happy



I’ve found myself depressed lately. Not sure what it is. Maybe it's because I haven't been to the gym in a month. I just signed up today! Hopefully that helps and that I go!

When I found myself questioning the quality of life, I wrote this list of
things that make me happy. I don’t want to live without these things.
Really I don’t.

Poetry (Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, the Dirt Poet, Maya Angelou)
Chocolate (Starbucks Hot Chocolate Packets, Homemade clusters, Sees, 
     Trader Joe’s Dark chocolate lovers, chocolate Cheesecake Factory 
      cheesecake, Sheelah’s fudge)
Books (non fiction, historical fiction, book club picks, comedy, autobiographies)
Bacon (BLT’s, Bacon wrapped dates, asparagus, Pasta Ala Carbonara)
Fresh fruit (pineapple, bananas, avocados)
Children (Elizabeth, Ethan, Jonah, Asher, Declan, cousins, friends)
Teaching Piano

Josh (love of my life, biggest supporter & fan, brilliant law director).
My Parents (biggest fans, supporters)
Church (Book of Mormon, Scripture study, Conference talks, Temple)
Music (piano, choral, Jazz, 80’s, 60’s, Mormon Tabernacle Choir)
Going to the Gym

What are the things that make you the happiest? Where is your small slice of Heaven on Earth?

Comments

YOU make me happy! You are always so thoughtful and aware and full of love. You take care of everyone around you. When you are around everyone is fed, cheered, sunscreened, healed, and listened to. You make life more beautiful for all who know you. YOU, Megan Rose Hulihan Abbott make people happy.

What is a book you've read recently that you can recommend. We seem to have the same taste in books-among other things.

Thank you, Kristen! This comment made my day!

Cynthia, It does seem like we have the same taste! I recentlyliked Listening Woman by Tony Hillerman if you are in the mood for a light, smart mystery. Talking as Fast as I can by Lauren Graham is also really good, but it has a little language. Others are on my Goodreads account.
