Happiness is an attitude more than anything else. You can choose happiness, or not…

…which is why I find happiness in many things!
For Nancy Merrill’s A Photo a Week challenge, the theme is happiness is… so here are some things that happiness is to me.
Flowers…


…especially the ones I grow myself.

Fresh tomatoes in the summer (again, especially those I grow myself, although these aren’t mine).

Animals, especially cats…

…and my grandcats…
Gigi (in our daughter’s arms) Freddy Stevie
…but also dogs – we have one granddog!

…and dogs I see everyday on campus.

Happiness is animal families, near…

…and far.


Happiness is traveling to fascinating lands…

…with my (crazy) husband!


Happiness is our new home!

Wonderful!
