Since beginning this blogging world, I’ve been amazed at the people I’ve met through it and because of it. I’ve also been amazed at how comforting it is to have an outlet to express myself. Melissa at Smitten By Britain named me as one of the blogs that makes her happiest. I am honored because surely that’s the whole point of this darned thing.
First off, rules 101 of Happy 101 is to list the top ten things that make me happy. Here goes:
- Jock (especially when he laughs)
- My Mom (especially when she laughs – it’s the most infectious laugh I’ve ever heard)
- My Sister and her son
- Talking about anything and everything with my two best friends – Courtney and Jessica –

- Writing,
- Traveling with friends and family (so excited to have Charlie and Eileen come in a few weeks)
- Working Hard
- Sunday Roasts
- Speaking French
- Dancing
The next step is to name ten other bloggers that make me happy. These are the people whose blogs I always look forward to reading, and check to see when their new posts will be up.
- The O’Shea’s Blog
- Smitten by Britain
- A Literal Girl
- American Crumpet
- She’s Not From Yorkshire
- Pond Parleys
- A Mid Atlantic English
- The Cotton Monster (I just love her monsters!)
And, a few new ones I have recently come across that I’m super excited about:
8. Bristolian Moments
9. Seattleite Imagery
10. Clash and Contradiction
(Oops, I cheated and added an extra. May as well just keep the love spreading!)
