The Joy List - I've been tagged!

I've just been tagged by Amanda to write my Joy List. :) Here's what she has to say about it on her blog:

"...we all made something called "The Joy List." It is a concept Josh's (her hubby) Dad created where you make a list of anything and everything that you can think of that brings you JOY. Then you give it to all the people in your life that you love and spend time with. That way they can do things that bring you joy! Anyways it sounds so simple, but it really helps people connect and do things that make someone else's day! So let me hear your Joy List and then post it on your blog and tag some people to share their Joy List!! Lets spread some Joy and be in each others Balcony!!"

For me as well, there are so many, many things that make me happy, but these are just a few. It was great thinking about these things and how I should involve more of them in each day. Besides, life is too short to not do what makes you happy. It's also too short to not make others happy! I mean hey - we're all in this together! Soooo what's your Joy list? :)
