An Inventory of Happiness..Part 1

I have, since the beginning of the year, compiled a list of things that make me happy..things that I am thankful for...things that fill my life. Turns out I have very little to complain about! So...in my infinite wisdom (or rather because someone told me that I would bore you all to tears)...I have chosen to whittle the extensively excrutiatingly excessively long list down to multiple blog posts. You can thank me later!
I am inviting you all into my inner sanctum of happiness. I am sharing my bliss with you. Please be gentle with that knowledge. That said...here are the first 50 things on the list! (In no particular order!!)
