missexpatria...Post 10 things that make you happy. Then tell 10 of your friends to do the same. Maybe we'll all read about happiness and all feel a little better tomorrow.
1. The cobblestone I brought back from Rome, and the one from Florence. I know I shouldn't have and I'm glad I did.
2. Sharpie pens.
3. Good wine and friends to share it with.
4. Making Chris laugh before he can stop himself.
5. The first bite of pizza. You know, that point of the triangle you first put in your mouth.
6. Washing my hair. It always feels so good in the shower.
7. Friday mornings on my day off.
8. All the screaming and simultaneous talking everyone does when my family gets together after a long time apart.
9. When I'm anxious to get back to a good book I'm reading.
10. When the lights in the theater go down at the start of a movie I've been dying to see.

relaxed
