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!
