1) Laying down with Rob (my husband)and just talking.
2) Playing with my animals.
3) Watching them play alone
4) The rescue work I do.
5) My family being ok.
6) Writing
7) Drawing even though I suck. I just enjoy it.
8) Sewing, knitting, crocheting.

[Michaela]

Great idea!

2. Spending time with the buns, watching them binky, receiving bunny kisses....

3. Spending time with my kitties, I love how they think so highly of themselves.

4. Looking for and buying Christmas decorations and putting them up - I love the whole season of Christmas sooo much.

5. Snuggled up on the sofa in a dressing gown with a cup of hot chocolate watching a Christmas film (they make me feel so good, especially if it's near Christmas.)

6. Watching animal shows on the TV that don't involve them being treated bad, but show them happy, or in the wild.

7. Going to the cinema and drinking Slush Puppies fast so you get Brain Freeze.

8. Listening to the rain at night.

9. Waking up and thinking it's a school day, then realising it's Sunday, best feeling!

10. Reading a good book, I especially like a book that makes you cry. And reading Harry Potter books (some of which I do cry at, especially 7).

12. Snow, watching it fall, looking at it freshly fallen and not disturbed.

13. Looking at rabbit pictures on the Internet.

14. Listening to Fall Out Boy.

15. Seeing wild rabbits in the fields, I especially love when I see the black and white ones. I love to see squirrels too, and hedgehogs in the garden,andIwould love to see a deer but I never have.

3) talking to my friends (they always make me laugh!:biggrin2

4) hot bubble baths with scented candles and a good magazine to read.

6) Snuggling up on the sofa inside on a cold winter night, whilereading a good book or watching a film.

7) retail therapy (aka shopping )

8) Sitting outside on a warm, sunny day with Ruby and Millie

9) listening to my favourite songs (especially 'Iris' or 'save tonight')

[Roxie]

2) Bunny kisses

3) My friends

4) Make up

5) CLOTHES!

6)Guys

7) Family

8) The beach

 

[maherwoman]

Here are mine:

1. Rescuing an animal, and seeing the changes in their personality and overall physical appearance as what you've been doing for them starts to truly show.

2. Hearing my bunnies grazing in their hay at night

3. Seeing my loved ones smile

4. Listening to folk music

5. Looking at wedding pictures. I was just doing this and listening to folk music (looking at Jesse's wedding pics), and totally started to cry. I just love it!

6. Seeing a couple totally in love

7. Taking pictures of nothing and everything. Never know what gems might come out of it! I've been crazy about photography since I can remember...and had TONS of unprocessed film. Digital cameras are PERFECT for people like me!

8. Talking to my friends...you know who you are!

9. Snuggling with my furbabies...I just love their unconditional love...

10. Playing the violin

11. Art...painting, drawing, sketching, photography, anything with art!

12. Writing letters

13. Having a good, deep conversation with someone

14. A good trip; either by road, by plane...trips are SO FUN! I love the planning, too!

15. Watching my little girl grow up a little at a time everyday

16. Teaching my little girl, and hearing her tell friends and family about it later on, telling them what she's learned, word by word. Makes me happy to hearing that she retained and understood what I taught her, and to see her apply it to life, and use the information later on. I'm so proud of her!

17. Taking Emily to the library. I love how much she loves to read, and I love watching her look on their computers for the books she wants, and then watch her go off and find it. She's so smart! I also love just watching her read.

18. Furbabies...and everything about them. I love that my kitties MUST have their certain times of the day with me. Sunny comes up onto the bed to say good morning, both of them come up at night, Hobbes HAS to lay with us on the couch in the evenings when we're watching TV. I just love it! I love that my girls know when it's time to be fed and loved on...and they know when "out" time is, too. It's so wonderful!

19. My husband makes me happy. What can I say? He's absolutely perfect for me. He loves me more than anybody ever has, and I can't explain what a joy it is to go to bed at night and take one last loving glance his way, and then wake in the morning with him by my side. True joy.

20. The freedom to be me, for the first time in my life. I grew up being made fun of for being me. My Danny and Emily don't do that...we each celebrate being unique individuals, and celebrate other people's individuality. I'm raising her to understand that unique is beautiful, that different is amazing, and should be admired. I love having my own home and family to be able to express myself in, and not feel like I hae to contain all my thoughts and emotions and feelings. It's truly wonderful to be...me!
