My happiness list!

Ah, with the craziness of moving into the house in full swing, I figured now was the perfect time to take a break and compile my "Happiness List," which is the July project (yes, yes, I know it's now August, but this was the best I could do!) for the fabulous blog, Pink of Perfection. With all the ups and downs of the past month, it couldn't be a better time to think about those things that make me happy....

• Fluffy towels
• Colorful markers and highlighters
  
• Rainy summer nights
• Grilled corn on the cob
• Super-soft organic cotton sheets
• Long bubble baths with a good book
• The stack of glossy magazines next to my couch, waiting to be read
• My dogs: everything about them, their wagging tails, their constant stream of snuggles and kisses, their wet noses, the way they run in their sleep, this could be a whole separate list of happiness
• Chocolate chip cookies
• Old family photos
• Hubby kissing my forehead
• Writing the first line in a brand new notebook
• A steaming cup of coffee first thing in the morning... and another with a slice of pie at night
• Reading the Sunday paper in bed
• Chocolate milk at lunch
• A Saturday matinee
  
• The little goldfinches in the tree off our front porch

This list could go on and on! I think this was a great exercise, especially since I've been enmeshed in the minutiae of moving for the past four or five weeks. It's a good way to look at the daily grind with new-found admiration for all the wonderful things in our lives.

What would be on your happiness list?
