ten things that make me happy ...




one of my fondest childhood memories is playing fox and goose ...

a tag game ...

that began with a great amount of shuffling your heavy boots through knee deep snow ...

making a labyrinth, of sorts ...

of twisty, helter skelter paths ...

then, one person would be the fox ...

and merrily chase and try to tag the gooses ... er, geese ...

it was gleeful!

well, yesterday a game of tag in blogland was introduced to me ...

and i've been tagged!

anne at life in yonder tagged camilla at bloom who tagged kim at kim klassen cafe who tagged me ...

*
it all begins with listing ten things that make me happy ...

that's easy ...

but kinda hard ...

i've got a bazillion things that make me happy ...

• holding hands while going to sleep
• hearing my boys call out 'mom'
• mornings ~ especially sunday
• family gatherings ~ friend get togethers
• emails from my niece
• light ~ sunlight, moonlight, starlight ~ let it stream in!
• kindred kreativity with kim
• everything flora and fauna in mother nature ~ birds, creatures, digging in the dirt, the air after a rain, buds, leaves, stones ...
• smiling at a stranger, saying hello in passing by
• breathing. (and art and music and walks and bike rides and xcountry skiing and dancing and pasta and pie and wine and ...)

and the idea is that i then tag ten friends ~ oh there are oh so many wonderful wonderful souls to connect to ...

did i mention you in the ten things that make me happy, cuz you do!

i know lots of you know each other all ready ~ such an amazing group ...
