I don't know about you, but sometimes I get really down in the dumps. I become cynical, and I don't see the good that surrounds me. I lose myself in the rush of everyday life and forget what it's all about. I decided to make a list of random things that make me happy. It is obvious that many things on the list are directly related, but I just let my mind jump around. I could probably sit down again tomorrow and come up with a completely different list, but, for today, here it is!
