This wonderfully warm weather is putting me in a very happy mood. So I decided to think about what things make me happy. So I went to our massive bookshelf and pulled down a book called: 14,000 things to be happy about.
This book is amazing. It makes you thing of all the little simple things in life that you should be thankful for.
I picked 65 out of the 14,000 to put on this blog. Of course I could have found more, put I was just flipping through it and picking out things.
And now, prepare to be happy.

Didn't that make you feel happy?
What makes me smile about this post is: I took most of the pictures for it. Not all at once of course. Some of them are old, some of them are new. And of course I didn't take the ones of me. I'm not that talented.
I hope this made you smile!

Oh, but you are THAT talented. Magnificent post. I love you.
Nice socks! Hahahahahahaha. I like "Your cake will brown slowly in the oven and rise like a perfect sun." I used to read that book all the time when I was your age, too.
