What - not so obvious - makes you happy?

Watching an incoming storm with lightning and thunder.
Getting my favorite magazine delivered in the mailbox....Phoenix Home & Garden
The day before a vacation........the anticipation......
Limes on the Key Lime Tree
The first sip of a great red wine

Ugh, I LOVE a good thunderstorm. Unfortunately, we don't get many of those here in Colorado.

But I do LOVE it when it snows. Preferably on my day off so I don't have to drive in it.

- hearing my favorite-song-of-the-moment on the radio
- finding great free apps for my iphone
- seeing something on sale that I had been wanting!

Totally agree on the thunderstorms! It's definitely one thing I miss about living in Wisconsin! Though, in general, Colorado has MUCH nicer weather and I love living here!

Lot of random things make me happy, lets see:

When my boss is out of the office.
When I think of my late Grandparents and how much they cared for us.
When my mom is happy.
When DH takes out the trash without me asking for the 4549879 time.
When my nephew rush to hug me and tells me he wants to come over to my house after not seeing him for a while.
When my plants are very green.
When my teeth are clean.
When everyone is very quiet at dinner, meaning they are really enjoying my meal.
When DD says a new word.
When my brother texts me just to say hi.
When I go to my zumba class.
When I listen to "Habanera" by Carmen.
When I see people in love. Weddings, anniversaries, etc.
