Six Things That Make Me Happy Meme 2014-08-22T15:53:37-05:00 Rebecca Frech

Lilder at Ummm, where am I? and Soul Pockets have tagged me for the Six Things That Make Me Happy meme. Thank you so much! According to the rules, I have to post six things that make me really happy … and pass it on to give six more people a reason to be thankful!

Here are my six things (and I’ve been told I can’t duplicate my Thanksgiving list):

6. My cell phone. Those who know me in real life know how much I love to talk to friends and family. This little baby lets me live my life and still be in touch with everyone.

5. The internet. What a wonderful time wasting invention! In its defense, when I have things to get done or research to do, it helps me get them done faster so I have more time to waste! See how nicely that works out?

4. A hot bath with the steam rising from it in tendrils, a locked door to momentarily create a space of silence for myself, and a good book to read while I soak. It can restore the soul.

3. The sound of voices chanting the rosary before Mass begins, softly and quietly each one praying in private and yet in unison.

2. Daffodils, but only when they’re growing. I don’t like them picked and in a vase. Their bright yellow faces should be there everyday to greet the sun.

1. Cooking. Baking sometimes, but cooking always. I love the alchemy of using a bit of this and a dash of something unexpected to create meals that delight the senses and uplift the spirit. I am never happier than standing barefoot at the stove, singing in my own off-key way, and stirring contently.

I tag anyone else who wants to play, and thank those who tagged me. I like memes. They fill in the spaces when I am at a loss for words, and I am humbled when others decide that they want me to play their silly little word games.
