    My 16 year old son with down syndrome, that still gives us hugs every single day!! He is the happiest kid I know. He hardly ever gets upset and is always making us smile or laugh about something. His happiness is contagious on those hard days for sure.

    I have a 15 month old grandson. My favorite part of the day is sharing an ice cream bar with him after dinner. No matter how bad the day might have been, that smile just makes everything better.

    The blue nail polish on my toes and the sparkly nail polish on my fingers. Makes me smile everytime. Haters gonna hate and I have friends who constantly give me crap about both. Whatever! It makes me happy, don't like what you see? Don't look!

    I always get to smile when grandkids are near. I really like it when they want to come to me before grandma, ticks her off.

    Many things. First off:

    <--- That little guy right there makes me happy every day! Especially when he's so excited that he can't stand himself when I come home!

    and..

    A good bike ride especially if its near the water, early with great weather, or through some scenic trails.

    Hearing good music on a good system. There are several albums (vinyl) that give me goose bumps when I hear them in my study.

    Boiled crawfish! or Gumbo!

    When you get the cream and sugar in that good cup of coffee just right!

    Anytime I can surprise my wife with something that I worked hard on and she really likes it.

    Being able to see another sunrise. A beautiful summer day like today. Sunny skies, mid 70's temps and low humidity. A day where I feel good for a change.

    Watching a couple really stupid reality TV shows with my family regularly. I enjoy being around them.

    Sadie will wake me up either - if my back is turned - by pawing at me, or if I'm flat on my back, she'll lay her neck over my face. Her way of saying "get up", as I don't think dogs differentiate between weekdays and weekends.

    Oh gees that's a good one and made me remember one I can't believe I forgot to include. My nephew/Godson (the only kiddo from any of my brothers/sisters so far) always makes me smile. He's just at the right age where although still young, he's entertaining and fun to be around. I love having him remind us of what it's like to be so young and imaginative especially when so many of my family (me included) became cranky old farts prematurely.

    My first hug with Maggie over 50 years ago was magic. Have missed hardly a day since. Had one this morning. Magic.

    Today I ate a perfect Washington peach. I made great coffee in the Chemex. I listened to some good music. Lots of little happies.

    The garden has exploded in produce and every year DH and I are thrilled with it. The joy of sending him outside to pick something to serve with supper never gets old....but alas in New England the season is very short so we enjoy it while we can.

    I know the feeling! I have a large herb container garden, and it rocks when I am making marinara and go out to get some basil, rosemary, oregano and parsley! Being in the Atlanta area, the season can also short because of the heat!
