Pondering Life's Questions...and your Happy List!

What is it that makes you happy? 😁

What do you love to do whenever you get the chance? 😍

A conversation with a coworker the other day made me think about these questions. We had been discussing how to get more out of life than just work, work, work.

And, it made me ponder, "What does make me content when I get time to them?

And, so I started making a list...

What makes me happy?

• Family
• Friends
• Reading
• Genealogy
• Writing
• Photography
• Scrapbooking
• Libraries
• Learning New Things
• Travel ~ Near and Far
• Meeting New People
• Peaceful Country Life
• Walking on our Property
• Watching the Deer/Wildlife in General
• Fishing
• Learning to identify plants, animals, etc.
• Helping to make house & property take shape

AND...

I had an "AHA Moment", as Oprah calls them. Most of the items on my list are things that can be fit into the day, in small or large bites. Very few items take much planning, or would have to be "scheduled" into my life.

When you can make a living doing what you love, and can spend your off-hours enjoying the fun stuff on your Happy List...

It just makes life FUN!

What is on your Happy List?

Do you fit at least a little of it in your life at every chance you get?

I Am...

I am.

I am me.

I am my core beliefs. They define me.

I am my past. It has built me.

I am my future. The dream guides me.

I am human.

I am woman.

I am mother.

I am American.

I am a wife, a lover, a friend, a sister, a coworker, an acquaintance, a neighbor, a citizen.

This is my connection to you, and the world.

It is a part of me, but it does not define me.

I am not a label.

I am me.

I am.

I woke up this morning with this poem almost complete. Since April is National Poetry Month, I wanted to share it with you. I hope you enjoy.

What defines you? What would your "I Am" poem look like?
