of course i can't remember where i read about it now, dang it should have wrote it down, but at some point i saw on a blog somewhere the idea to write a list of the happiest moments of ones life. just a fun little gratitude thing. so i thought i'd jot some of mine down, for journaling sake. some are specific memories, some are just parts of life that i've felt real joy/peace.

+ the nancy nancy and betty betty bedtime stories my dad would tell me
+cheering football games
+sun sinking into my skin
