I was sorting through some papers and found a list I wrote awhile back (like a year ago). It is 100 Things That Make Me Happy. It was an exercise in a book I was reading at the time. I remember having a hard time coming up with anything. Then I found my happy place- I would be most happy at a resort hotel, wearing beautiful sandals,lying in a hammock of down-filled pillows in a garden of white roses and rosemary, holding a marquerita in one perfectly French manicured hand and a large hunk of peanut butter fudge in the other listening to my husband's laugh while gazing at the sea shore as a cool breeze blows through pine trees nearby. Anyone know where this might be?
