    walking in the rain, driving in the sun, writing, cooking,
    when my kids say they love me, finishing the laundry, disco balls
    mexican food,pulling weeds in the garden, cicadas, the smell of a field on a hot summer day,  good coffee, Lynrd Skynrd, seeing other people randomly fall up stairs, bonfires, crickets, the sound of frogs at night in the spring, a cold glass of Guinness, Wii sports, the sound of my husband when he laughs when something is truly funny, life in general.....

    Getting on a freeway and knowing I'll be on it for at least a 1000 miles smile  That's probably my favorite way of getting happy, or it is once I get beyond the northeast tongue

    Making travel plans -- the planning itself makes me happy (sort of ridiculously so), but the trips are great too!

    The beach, the ocean, a really cold Bass ale, my annual pass at Disney World, walking the streets of London, lunch at Harvey Nichols, visiting my friends, having the dog snuggled up beside me

    Paychecks don't make one happy... money is material and only allows someone a resource for acquiring other material needed to live or to allow them the means to acquire things they believe they are entitled to. Possessions are traps...

    As for happiness:

    1. My wife and children
    2. Learning
    3. Helping others

    long walks by the ocean
    (I SO miss the coast - need to visit my sis)
    morning coffee
    cool breeze after sultry day
    singing with my sisters
    first snowfall
    (after that magic event, it can all melt, thank you)
    raindrops on roses - whaddya mean Julie Andrews already did that one...smile

    OK, enough with the warm fuzzies - I love SHOPPING, cute shoes that fit well, bright lights, the hustle and bustle of downtown, store windows full of "pretties"...

    also peace on earth and goodwill to all would make me very happy

    Great question!

    Here are a few things that make us happy:
    Our husbands, our children, Tricia's grandchildren, our cats, talking to each other.  Also Pilates, chocolate, those nice biscuits with lemon that Tricia buys sometimes, driving in Pat's Mini, hula hooping and laughing.
    Tricia says sailing.  Pat says NOT sailing.
    Good health.
    Bargains.
    Sunshine and walking on our beach.
    Rejoicing in the good things that are send our way and coping with the rest.
