I have seen this on several blogs and loved reading what makes others happy, so thought I would give it a shot today....if for no other reason than to count my blessings. I would love for you to share with me 3 random things that make you happy!
I will give you a few more than 3 .....

an hour of free time in a book store

the mail ...I love a good letter or a new catalog

cold weather

people watching in airports

a roaring fire (have one right now)

candles burning in every room of the house (happening now)
