I love LOVE this list. and this activity. more happy thoughts, i say. you lost me at strawberry shortcake, smurfs and muppets, but we met back up at life is beautiful and especially reading to a child and accapella. not that you needed my approval for these things to make you happy ;) Hope you're having a good weekend!
I asbolutely *love* this list!!!!!! Oh, the smiles it brought to my face too!
I love popsicles too, but my fav flavor is grape. Then again, I haven't met a popsicle flavor I didn't like... hee hee!
I chuckled at the one about being feminine, or the rare occasion it happens. Uhm, yeah -- that'd be me.
What a wonderful idea... and you're right, hard not to be happy when we realize how full the world is of things that bring joy to our heart.
I didn't realize I missed this post...gosh. I love this list, and each happy thought. Great idea-Maybe, we should make this a Thursday thing?
love.
