14,000 That Make You Happy

A dear friend gave me this book in 1994 when my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. When I first read the book, I highlighted all the things that made me happy. I've reread this book at least once a year since that time. It's amazing how well I knew myself 21 years ago when I first made my highlights and how the things that made me happy then are still the things that make me happy now. Even more interesting, the things I aspired to (like living near the ocean) became reality.

The pages I took pictures of are some of the more funny/quirky things that always make me smile::

"repositioning the Christmas tree lights so no two of the same color are together" I still do that!!

"informing TV characters of impending danger, thinking that they can hear you" You know you do it too!

"the detector in aspirin that tells it exactly what part of the body it goes to" How does it know???

 

Others not pictured that resonate even more with me now

"keeping a child's heart happy" I was single and young?

"getting artsy fartsy" I wasn't back then. How did I know?

"watching the ocean change it's mood" I lived in Ohio...

 

Starting to get more energy! Hoping to get the big girl camera out for next week's prompt.

Hope all is well in your world!!
