Reasons to be happy -- got any?
I need to borrow some reasons to be happy, because I'm temporarily having problems coming up with my own. I had a couple of disappointments today -- nothing I won't get over, but enough to plunge me into a wading pool of despair. So, help me out here ....

Reasons to be Happy
  1. I'm healthy.
  2. I have good eyesight.
  3. I have a roof over my head. (Even if there are mice up there, too.)
  4. I have two beautiful kitties.
  5. Luna came with me on my morning hike today, all the way to the top of the hill. It was so cute.
  6. I have a great new computer.
  7. I have more than enough to eat. (Even if that causes its own set of problems.)
  8. I will soon have a perfect smile.
  9. I live in a beautiful place.
  10. Valentine's Day is coming! (Oh, wait, that goes on the Reasons to be Miserable list.)
  11. That's it, I'm out of ideas.
  12. ...?

Yeah, I do. Maybe I should go wade in one of them. That'd perk me right up.

You are an incredibly talented writer and photographer. You live in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. You have a heart of gold.

Okay, ditto on what Nancy said, plus the following:

1. I linked to you on my first ever real blogroll.

2. You're going to chill with me in February in Magical Vancouver!

3. You have goooooorgeous hair.

4. You have a wicked, whip-smart sense of humour.

5. You learned way earlier than most that simplicity is gold.

6. You have years and years of travels ahead.

7. You've lived long enough to recognize bullshit.

8. You seek to improve yourself.
