Things That Make Me Happy

• Watching NBA playoffs late into the night and falling asleep with the TV on.

• Hearing my kids laugh when I tickle their arm pits.

• Breakfast (4 pieces of toast and hot chocolate. Everyday.)

• Playing catch, bikes, and basketball with the kids outside until it gets dark.

• When they turn the air conditioner on at church.

• Power naps. Give me 15 minutes when I get home from work and I’m good to go.

• Peanut butter cookies from Maverik.

• Rain.

• Hearing my kids play the piano.

• Fat veins in my feet which prove to me that I’m working hard with marathon training.

• When my wife whistles.

• Sleeping with the window opened and listening to the crickets.
  

• The familiarity of knowing that tomorrow will likely be remarkably similar to today which is remarkably similar to yesterday. Consistency is good.

• I can’t overemphasize how important it is to have peanut butter cookies on this list.
