I think people expect to be happy, like they are entitled to it and that is not necessarily how it works. To me happiness comes from making good choices including choosing to be happy.

My list

1. Loving people and them loving me back
2. Seeing that lightbulb turn on in someone's head
3. Joking around the table at dinner
4. African Violets
5. Coffee with deadly creamer
6. Knowing something I did helped keep a child safe
7. Praise
8. Making beautiful things like jewelry or a meal people enjoyed
9. Feeling proud of my kids and loving them even when I'm not so proud
10. Associating with good people who make me laugh, and fill my pitcher
