Happiness is...
Most definitely Fall. It's my favorite time of the year for a multitude of reasons. One of these is apples. I love everything about them. I love orchards, I love cider, I like just eating them or baking them into pies, crisps, bars, and all of the above.
Honey crisp, zestar, braeburn, gala, or my new favorite sweet sixteen, I love to grab an apple and bite into its juicy goodness. And there's no better time than Fall for that. tonight it was a combination of all of this awesome, with an orchard, fruit dip, eating, and baking (the apple crisp was by far the best one I've made in years). Tomorrow, I shall continue. Just you wait.
So,what's your favorite part of Fall? Corn mazes (I love those too)? Photos (yeah, you know me)? Crunching the leaves (which I believe I've already written about)? Cuddling up for the first time in the year (I wish)? Back to school season (hehehe)? Or do you simply love it as much as I do?

Animated awesome
Happiness is...
Children's movies. I love animation. And I extra love it when people burst into song. That's why I will hold on to Disney til the day I die. Luckily, they are still making a good one here and there... sure, they've evolved to computer animation and adult humor, but sometimes I strike gold and there's an all-ensemble song and dance. Today, I watched Rio. My head bobbing, a smile creeping across my lips, I felt like a child again. If I don't find another one like that I just might break out Aladdin and Little Mermaid on DVD. Yeah, that's the life... singing along to my movies, dreaming of being a princess too. Don't judge.

In this immediate, internet world it is so easy to go through the motions and become completely anonymous. Then someone takes you off guard and writes back. It's a little beacon of hope---"I see you, I know you're there... And I'm here too!"
Comments are a sweet reminder that you matter, at least to somebody. So thanks, somebody :)

Quotes (yes, another)
"A happy life is one spent in learning, earning, and yearning."
- Lillian Gish

Countdown
Happiness is...
A friendly countdown. Put a ticker on the computer desktop, fashion a paper chain, or whatever other idea you have... but make those days count leading up to the big event!
There are still 70 days until I see him again... probably too early for a paper chain, but never too early to start counting. 70 is a good number, a number I can handle. It's a number that'll fly by before I know it. You gotta love the sound of that.
