All of this sad talk wherever I go is starting to get to me, and I am not going to allow it! So, I am going to post something that makes me very happy and makes me think of both of my grandmother's. They would sing this, and out of the blue I began singing it yesterday. This makes me happy. You may think it's silly but. . . . So, what makes you happy today? And no political talk allowed. Edited to say this is NOT a Christmas song. The picture may look like it but it's not. Give it a listen.  |

Yes, it is and hearing my grandmother sing it and play it on the piano is a special memory. Now everyone post something else fun. A photo, a song, a memory, anything. |

The Lord's Prayer in SwahiliEven if you (general "you") are not religious in any way you can still appreciate the harmonies of the Soweto Gospel Choir.  Listening to them makes me happy. Another one

My husband leaves for work at about six thirty in the morning, before he goes he comes in to the bedroom and spends a few minutes with my sleepy self. It makes me ridiculously happy that he does this. We talk (I have no idea what we talk about!) he kisses me, tells me he loves me, makes sure my feet are under the duvet and goes off for the day |

This is a first in our house. I opened my son's emailed report card and he made High Honors!!!! He's a sophomore and taking Chemistry and Geometry. He's never even made honor role before.
I hope you don't mind I posted this, but I am ready to burst!

Good thread and peabay - that picture is adorable!! This makes me happy - my mom's dog HATES collars and pitches a fit when you put one one him but he was so sweet and tolerated me when I put this Halloween Jester collar on him. He was like "okay - just take the picture and then take off this silly thing"  |

My son has 4 missing teeth in the front of his mouth right now. The center 2 on top, and the next 2 on the bottom. Every darn time he smiles it makes me happy because he looks so darn adorable with his little gap-toothed grin. |

Last spring husband cheated (among other things), kids and I moved to Arizona in July, I got an excellent job in October, and I move into my brand new, never lived in house over Thanksgiving. Pretty happy.

Last night I was able to watch live TV without having to pause and then fast forward through political ads from either side. That was refreshing!

Oh and here is something else that makes me happy. Two of my three tired boys laying near each other. The one on the right is the one that caused my littlest pup to have surgery (an accident). At least they are still buddies.  |

My mom has been living with us off and on since Granny passed a year ago. My DH adores my mom, and she feels the same way about him. Her birthday was Tuesday, and he stopped by Kroger to get the cards and flowers I asked him to pick up. He brought home an arrangement in a container, rather than just flowers. He told Mom he wanted to make sure that she could take them home with her when left the next day without having to worry about them spilling or having to return a vase. Mom was thrilled he had put so much thought into her flowers. This isn't the first time my mom has lived with us. She and I are both territorial about our homes, so the first time she came, we sat down and decided who would be responsible for what areas of the house. Mom hates to cook and I love it, so the kitchen is mine. Mom loves to vacuum and do laundry, so the laundry room and vacuums are hers. Yep, I no longer have to do laundry or vacuum !!! And Mom thinks I'm being kind, giving her something to do in my home. Yeah, that's me - the kind daughter with clean clothes and freshly vacuumed floors.   Marcy |

The surprised, delighted grin my 21 month old grandson gave my DH when DH said "climb up on the chair and turn on the light and fan!" (He's not allowed to climb on chairs at home, but at Nana and Papa's house - Nana and Papa's rules!).
He looked like he would say "Seriously? I can't believe I get to do this!" I wish I had gotten a picture of him!

I was happy to see Starbuck's red Holiday cups released today, I love that they used customer's designs on them this year.

Remembering the Over the River song makes me happy, because my Mom used to sing it too, and it was a Thanksgiving song for us.
I was raised on Long Island, evidently it had nation-wide appeal!
Thanks for the nice memory, Patter!
