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)


Continued from my last list, here are twenty more bloggers (plus one) that brighten my day:

Sandy (Getting Fit and Loving It) 
Tony (Nut in a Lifeshell) 
Cara (Synchronistic Catalyst) 
Liz (It's Unbeweavable) 
Betz (Her Armoire)
(Miss Always Carried Away)
Lauren (Little Loves) 
Sara (One Long Road) 
Sophia (Blue Chair Diary)
Valerie (Marley and Me) 
Miles (Thunder From a Quiet Storm
Lauryn (LauReality)
Jenni (Absent Minded)
Mayra (Life Is Bananas)
Jill (Life After College)     
Sophia (A Poet's Circus)
Acquiles (Minute by Minute)
Bassi (Queen of Shiba)
Jess (And My Reflection Troubles Me)
Michael (Spice of Life)
Laurnie (Some Whine With Cheese)

You guys don't have to do the lists but I do want to pass this on to you.  For reasons each as unique as your blogs you all add something to my day.

  9. Barry, you're so obviously such a nice guy; thanks for your comment on my blog re this token of your appreciation. (Your own blog is also very well done; "intelligent-eclectic-uplifting" would be a nice way of describing your topics and writing style. In any event, enjoyable.
    Have a great day, and again, thanks. :-)
