In no particular order

List 30 things that make you happy.

A nice morning walk
Playing my upright bass
Sailing
Being out on the water in general
Getting baked and laughing my head off to Beavis and Butthead with my husband
Pretending I’m still young
Performing music with a group (choir, my band, pit gig, etc.)
Throwing a party
A hot cup of tea on a chilly afternoon
A purring cat on my lap
Making pie irons and smores over a firepit (if you haven’t ever tried a pie iron, you are missing out!)
Time with friends
Roller coasters
Halloween
A crisp fall day when the air smells like spice
Sipping on a Manhattan and reminiscing about my mom
Drinking a beer and reminiscing about my dad
Being worn out at the end of the day, knowing you were really productive
Learning something new
Doing something different
Losing myself in the moment
Spending time with family
Hiking with the hubs
A sense of accomplishment
Thunderstorms
A little bit of quiet time in the morning, where I can enjoy a hot cup of coffee and reflect on my life.
Seeing the perennials I planted a few years ago, still growing strong, and making my yard look nice
Seeing the horse chestnut tree in my yard bloom in the spring
A good blaze in the woodburning stove on a cold winter night, and our cats all sprawled out around it (and actually getting along!)
Reading almost anything by Ray Bradbury
