Happiness

This year I wanted to make a list of the things that make me happy.  This time of year as we gather with family I always think of how richly blessed I am with people who love us and our family.  I could go on and on with a list of things I'm thankful to have (faith, family, friends) but I wanted to look past that to the things that make me happy. (This is just a short list.  I really could go on and on but no one wants to read all that.)
