The Happiness Continues...

I've recently received another Happy Award from my wife Sandy and my high-school buddy (and long-time friend) Tony.  The rules with this are:

1. List 10 things that make you happy.
2. List 10 bloggers that brighten your day.

I've decided to combine these two lists of ten into one list of twenty, so here goes:

Twenty things that make me happy:

1. my wife Sandy (always first on the list)
2. my friends
3. my family
4. all of you who visit me
5. meeting someone new
6. conversation
7. creativity
8. passion
9. music
10. art
11. poetry
12. my writing
13. my studio
14. massages
15. a hot soak in a tub
16. the smell of perfume
17. flirting
18. sunsets
19. sports cars
20. renovations (yeah they're a pain in the ass sometimes but I enjoy the work)
