Good morning! It's November, it's cold, and it's time for a Happy List! So, without further ado, here are five things that make me happy:

• My best friend; the best friend I've ever had, Brian. I just happen to be married to him, too. Every day I think about how lucky I am to have found him.
• My kids. Even when they annoy me, I still love them.
• My dogs. They are my example of how to be cheerful and happy.
• My cats. Even when I'm feeling my worst, a purring cat on my lap will always make me happy.
• My house. It's not much, but it's ours, and it's the place I love spending most of my time.

Kind of got back to basics today; I was just thinking how lucky I am to have so much that so many other people don't have. Sometimes you don't take the time to appreciate the small things that are so important. These five things are the foundation for my life, and it's so easy to overlook them when making these lists. I'll get back to something more random with my next list, but just so you know... EVERY list has this list holding it up.
