That are better than "Stuff"

Twelve Pictures in my Mind that make me happy.

  1. Seeing the wonder, warmth and hope of a sunrise.
  2. Appreciating the healty glow of a peaceful sunset.
  3. Someone speacial to sit with me when I am old.
  4. Hearing my spouse sleep softly and quietly when I head off to work.
  5. Viewing and contemplating the wonders of a child's smile.
  6. The wrinkled face of a senior citizen which reflects pride in a job well done and confidence about the future.
  7. Viewing a full moon that highlights the stars of the galaxy on a clear night.
  8. Reading a book in front of the fireplace on a cold winters night.
  9. A camping and fishing trip with my kids when they are young, and again when they are adults.
  10. A quiet walk in a warm gentle rain with a special person.
  11. Basking in the glow of children who have no hate, prejudice, or fear, and who are comfortable and confident about the contributions they can make to a better world.
  12. A.A. friends who accept me just as I am.
