Hikes in the mountains, swimming in the ocean, dancing, laughing w/husband/friends at stupid comedies, cards in the Post from old college pals, petting dogs (we have cats & I love them but meeting people who are walking their dogs is great)

My cat, Poe cheers me every day. My grandkids, my son and daughter, and especially my brother. I also love a walk along the beach, no matter how the weather is.

Redoing my hair. I just tried to dye it lighter, but it came out darker! What the hay! I'll try even lighter next time. Also psychic shows on Friday nights. Playing with my ferrets. Going to the humane shelter to look at dogs. Any thing animal. Eating chocolate. Romantic movies.

My daughters and my granddaughter. My dog, so sweet! Crisp evenings outside with Katy. Writing, meeting new people that I like, that aren't weirder than me, cheers me up.

Driving.....driving in the countryside...driving into the foothills.....driving to new places.....it's the TRIP and not the destination that excite and make me happy.

Well,if the destination is someplace like a fancy spa or resort,then that's ok too!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
