I was sitting here listening to the power tools and hammers of a neighbor reparing a deck in his back yard. the noise was irritating, then suddenly it stopped. It was quiet and I was grateful, until I really listened. I hear the light cool breeze blowing the leave in the tree, the birds singing, a squirrel racing up and down teh tree. I realise that I have so many things that bring me peace, when I focus on them, rather than the things that annoy me.

I like to find a great sale or deal and running into people on the street who smile and say hello. I like hanging out with friend who share rich conversation and being alone with a good book or a hot bubble bath. I love fresh flowers and clean sheets from the dryer.

It reminds me that we are all connected and have a strong bond from generations past way beyond to generations yet to come and I have been blessed beyond words to have been a part of it all. Thats what makes ME happiest. Care to share what makes you happy?
