haha... well i was originally going to say 100 things but after the first couple of hours it got rather depressing trying to find happy stuff. I think 20's a good number for something like this. Of course if you have less then, by all means, go for it!

Wow. I love that answer! haha...

I won't make twenty but this is what I love

A good book and a good cup of coffee
Camping with my daughter and grandson
Hiking the trails in the fall with the sound of crunchy leaves
The snow on the branches of the trees in the winter with the sun shining on them..beautiful!
Getting together with my kids and grandkids
My two cats
Getting together with my friends for cards and crazy talk
Listening to the birds chirping their thanks at my feeders
The forum..first thing each morning with my first cup of coffee it's me, my iPad, and the forum
