    The sun coming out of the fog early in the morning. The way it makes everything sparkle, and soft. waking up to 6 new comments of kindness and caring on a silly hub. Watching chickens bock around, scratching for bugs in the dirt and get all fluffy when its cold. That feeling you get when you find out your not the only one, someone else thinks it too. when your child's fever breaks in the middle of the night and you know they are going to be ok.

Catching that perfect wave warm white sand between my toes, hooking that unexpected big one on a fly cast blindly into emerald waters. A fresh fruit daiquiri some rocking blues singer sharing that experience of heartbreak and finding a new love! OMG! I could go on and on! Life, life makes me happy and sure there are those moments we'd all wish didn't happen those times we'd like to forget but those are the times that put everything into context and allow us the pleasures of the simple things to put a smile on our face. The sweet scent of the rose, the company of good friends, a silly joke, or a flirtatious innuendo, ah I'd like to have some of that right now!

    Ok dont take this the wrong way ,but money makes me happy
    NOT over the moon happy ,just content in a feel secure kinda way.
    
    Ive been poor , Ive been well -off , I dont care what people say , I know which way feels better.
    
    I love the sound of rain on the roof , chilled chardonnay and maybe tim mgraw in my background along with ocean waves crashing over rocks just over the way

    It's not money that makes me happy, it's not having to worry about it that keeps my frome being distracted from happiness! Look, money doesn't make most people that have it happy. Michale Jackson is only one recent example.

             Oh, hun. so easy!! blue cheese, sour cream, very little salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. the salt gets saltier with time, plus lots of cheeses are salty, you dont always need it..give me a sec to find a link to a good kind of cheese? they aren't all the same.You can add mayo or a touch of milk to thin it out if needed, but I very rarely need to. you have no idea...its so funny to think..people think of me? oh my goodness, you so made my day!!!
