Mr. Mouse told me my blogging friend Anne in San Diego tagged me with the task of listing 6 things which make me happy.
Now normally I'm a pretty happy person but there have been times in my life (as with most people I suspect) when this hasn't been the case. Perhaps because of this, I've come to realize just how grateful I am to be happy. So here goes; 6 things (in no particular order) which make me happy.
Now normally I'm a pretty happy person but there have been times in my life (as with most people I suspect) when this hasn't been the case. Perhaps because of this, I've come to realize just how grateful I am to be happy. So here goes; 6 things (in no particular order) which make me happy.
1. Leilani - People always say there's something different about a grand child. They're right. To listen to her laugh, to get lost in her hugs, to hear her call me Popeye is an experience I'm unable to put into words.
2. RFWDG - Together we Lazy White People share an appreciation for fine food, wonderful wines and memories made. But most of all we share in the value and importance of our friendship.
3. Buccaneer Villa - Aptly dubbed by the London Star as "The coolest place to stay on the planet," this paradise on earth is the most relaxing place I've ever been. Iree Mon, Iree.
4. Thunderstorms - Ever since I was a child, I've loved thunderstorms. There is something about the raw power exhibited when God decides to kick it up a notch that is both awe inspiring and humbling.
5. My Siblings - Or more accurately, our relationship with one another, is an important source of happiness for me. There are four of us, 2 brothers and 2 sisters, and even though there are 25 years between me (the youngest) and my brother (the oldest), we all love one another, we all like one another and we all get along. This made our Mother very proud.

6. Beth - Happiness only touches on the emotion I feel because of her. When we married, we promised to walk the path of life together, not one in front of nor one behind the other. We promised to be each other's best friend; to be always kind; to not lose sight of what we found when we found one another. And even though there have been times when I stumbled blindly in darkness, she never faltered. She has always and will always be the reason "I see trees of green, red roses too. I see them bloom for me and you. And I think to myself, what a wonderful world."
I'm supposed to tag 6 others but aside from Anne, there are only 3 other bloggers I know, so here they are:
Amy in GA
Cheryl in AZ
Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Tim! Thanks for the tag...I am still trying to get my photos and thoughts together about volunteering at Ironman Arizona last weekend...but I will try to do this over the long weekend!
Have a great Thanksgiving!
There is SO much to be happy about and Thankful for, isn't there?
I am hosting Thanksgiving dinner for a girl from Virginia who is away from her family for the first time.
So hopefully I can post a story about that and her too!
I'm glad the exercise did for you what it's done for me and others: reflect on all that's good for a little while. Getting harder to do in today's troubling times, but you've got a great list there.
