Last week my friend Helen said that knitting makes her happy and also playing music. That got me thinking what do I do that makes me happy?

I like writing in my blog. It makes me happy. Why? Because if something that is bothering me writing about it makes me feel better. I also like blogging about the improvements on our house. I like to look back and see what a great job we are doing. I like writing about my dogs. They are a big part of my life. I don’t have children so they make me happy.

I like cross stitching it makes me happy. I like looking at a piece of aida and imagine what can be put there. I like being creative and deciding on the possibilities of different colors rather then always following the pattern and the colors it comes with. Yes I sometimes follow the color pattern exactly but not always. In my opinion I have created many beautiful pictures with thread.

I like writing stories. I like creating a whole new world where my characters live. Writing stories make me happy. I have six completed rough draft chapters done for the book I will publish. This year I am working on completing the story. I want to next year complete it fully and find someone to draw the pictures for it. My story is a zombie story. However I have some other stories as well that has nothing to do with zombies and some that are. Different scenarios with different characters.

All these things make me happy.
