Something to think about...
This started out as an assignment in my Creative Writing class last year. We each got a peice of paper numbered from 1 to 100. We were supposed to try to think of as many things as possible "that you love or that just make you happy." A task to my liking! I was the first in the class to fill it up...but I didn't stop there. About a week later, every inch of the page was covered, and I had exactly 200 happy things. The teacher was amazed and happy, and so was my friend. She (my friend, "Zena") suggested that we combine our lists into one really big list. We did, and ended up with 250 (as our lists had a lot of the same things).
I have decided to put this list here. I have deleted a few that would make no sense whatsoever to the general public (mostly people's names), but please look over the rest. Every now and then one must remind one's-self of the simple happy things, or else one's head is likely to explode from too much homework.
Read, and be happy...
