Top Ten: Happiness Is…

Crossing the road to walk on the sunny side of the pavement

Wearing your flip-flops for the first time in the summer

Refusing to take your flip-flops off in November

The first bite of the apple

Sleeping with the window open

 That Friday feeling

Lying in the middle of the bed

Seeing a penny, picking it up…

Waking up on a Sunday morning without the alarm

Priceless!

Inspirational Quote: Raindrops and Roses

-Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince
