A few things from me *smiles*: (no particular order)
Watching the sun set below the horizon at the beach in the summertime when the sky takes on that mysterious glow and you can almost hear that old tale of hearing the "hiss" of the sun as it appears to hit the water as it sinks below the horizon.
Sitting out on the dock of the lake with a book in the sunshine with the breeze.
Afternoon naps in the sun with a gentle breeze.
Watching my niece grow up and being around for those moments her parents wonder where the hell she learned some of those famous words and statements...LOL.
Seeing my newborn niece that is 3 weeks old now and watching how she is growing and becoming aware of things and people is just amazing.
My cat for all the insanely strange and stupid things she does that make me laugh.
The dog of my Dad's cause she is just so lovable and is a big kid that becomes my shadow whenever I am around her (that big Chocolate Lab I posted here a while ago).
All the friends here on the message boards and stuff because I enjoy being able to know all of you from different places not just here in my hometown.
My family and friends for the support they give me in the choices I make even though maybe they aren't always the best ones.
Flowers that begin to bloom in spring after a long winters nap.
Curling up by the woddstove with a cup of tea or hot chocolate when it's cold and snowing outside and just watching the snow fall.
Watching the Perseid meteor showers laying on the beach and seeing them shoot across the sky over the ocean with the sand sparking under the moonlight.
Those are just some of the things that make me happy [img]wink.gif[/img]
