My Happy List

During our morning gospel study, Kimball and Henry and I each made a list in our journals entitled: Things That Make Me Happy. We then read 2 Nephi 11:4-7 to see what was on Nephi's "happy list".

Henry said as we opened the scriptures, "Let's see if we can get some inspiration from Nephi. Maybe I need to add his list to my list." I thought it was adorable and was, of course, precisely the point of the whole exercise!

Anyhow, I thought I'd share my happy list with you. This is what makes me happy today, although I reserve the right to add to it at any time!

• children giggling
• chubby baby legs
• cuddling
• strawberries
• late night talks with Jared about our plans, hopes, dreams, future
• going to the temple
• having uninterrupted time to pray
• Mack Wilberg arrangements of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir
• visiting out-of-town family/cousins
• springtime
• having my mom, sister, and in-law parents live locally
• succeeding in keeping my temper with my kids
• "I love you" and "thank you"
• a good book and time to read it
• hearing my kids bear their testimony
• a weekend away with my husband
• the way my toes look after a pedicure
• when my kids are getting along and enjoying each other
• General Conference
• Jared's breakfasts (even better when I get to sleep in and wake up just in time to eat)
• my covenants
• The Plan of Salvation

What's on your happy list?
