What Makes Me Happy

 

The past few weeks have been pretty crazy and busy and a little stressful but for the most part it's been a pretty good month so far. I mean how can you not be happy that it's the beginning of summer, were not in the drought at the moment, and the cattle are fat! Can't complain about that! I can't remember when or why but I created a list of things that made me happy. Probably one night trying to stay awake at work :) But it's just a list everything that makes my insides all warm and fuzzy and makes my heart sing and I thought I'd share it with you all!
