(A few of )My Secrets for a Great Life (not necessarily in this order):
People to love and who love me
Birds singing outside my window
The first day it "feels" like spring
Laughing until it hurts
A cat curled up and purring in my lap
The sweat of a great workout
People who focus on the positive
Volunteering
Singing in the shower
Watching a squirrel hang upside down off the birdfeeder to eat
Friends who have known you for decades
Gratitude

Playing in mud puddles and not caring
Dancing with my two year old
Kickboxing to the song Kung Fu Fighting
Relaxing with yoga
Sex on a regular basis!(hard when you have an overworked husband and a hyperactive toddler!)
A good hair day
New shoes
A clean house that smells good
A good movie, a cuddle and some popcorn to share
72 degrees and a gentle breeze
Slobbery two year old kisses
Time is an illusion..
Lunchtime, doubly so.

Here's mine!!
-my 4-year-old niece - hugs from her; when she says that she misses me; cuddling with her; putting her to bed; reading with her; listening to her tell stories
-my 10-month-old niece - when she reaches for me; kisses from her; when she is happy to see me; rocking her to sleep; watching her sleep
-a clean car
-a walk through the woods
-the smell of morning
-a great cup of coffee
-the silent company of a good friend
-laughter
-clean, crisp sheets that have been dried on the clothesline
-fresh strawberries and cream
-birthday cake
-a boat ride on a sunny day
-laying in the pool being lazy
-seeing a really good show with someone I care about (and talking about it for days afterwards!)
-learning new things; seeing new places
-falling in love
-finishing a big project
-my hometown - shopping in the little shops; strolling in the tulip gardens; sitting in the park and watching people
-being scared (haunted houses; spooky stories; scary movies)
-cooking for my family and friends
-reading a good book

Watching my children playing together. Watching my cats chasing & playing together lol.
Giving food (not money) to beggers.
Cycling along the river to the park with my children.
Seeing my childrens excitement and joy after the tooth fairy *ehem!* has left them a pound stirling (£1) under their pillows.
Rainy days while warm indoors.

Never apologise for who you are

Leave as little negative impact on the world as possible
