Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
These are ALL great things to be happy about!


I'm happy because we got outside and spent hours cleaning up the site - even put in some flowers!


(Of course we learned pretty quickly the ferals seem to really like the wood mulch we put down as a litter box.
)

Ferals love mulch as a litter box!


Scarlett's nightly ritual when she sees me get into bed. She lets out a chirp of happiness and leaps up on the bed to snuggle next to me. Then purrs LOUDLY.

The rest of my cat gang.

Summertime, in particular, the food that goes along with it.

Flowers in bloom.

My 3 "puppies".

Usually I would say "the smell of citrus", my cats, or a job that I love.

Currently? What makes me happy is being on an indefinite medical leave due to stress and depression, from a job that I absolutely hate, with no intentions of ever going back, and to know that my union is standing 100% behind me and is taking action against the company in the form of a grievance due to the unreasonable and unsafe working conditions that I have had to endure since October 2010, that not only put patients at risk, but also my nursing license.

Oh I so wish I had a balcony to plant flowers on!!! Years ago in the early 1990's I lived in an apartment on the second floor of a house. The lady who owned the house lived on the main floor. We became great friends. I helped her plant flowers and do the yard work and shovel snow. It was so nice to sit out in the yard in the summer surrounded by all of that beauty!

Sarahp photo made me happy


Going to petsmart and stocking up, driving around-even if we never stop for any place, diner for dinner out.

Thinking of my mom makes me happy. Her favorite movie of all times was The Sound of Music. Which brings me to her favorite song, which makes me happy:

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens;
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens;
Brown paper packages tied up with strings;
These are a few of my favorite things.

Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels;
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles;
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings;
These are a few of my favorite things.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes;
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes;
Silver-white winters that melt into springs;
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.

Having my own authentic voice without being judged for it.

Being dead would be the ultimate happiness for me, but I have to take care of my cats and will until they pass.

Not being harassed constantly is a very happy thing.

A day of real peace would be wonderful, I think - I've never experienced one.

You asked a question and I answered.

This week what has made me happy is that McDoogle, my newest foster boy's triple test was negative!
No more cage for him! Unfortunately he is horribly matted, and will require the dreaded "lion cut", but this too shall pass.






But in general, my kitties, my family, photography, and lately, jewelry making all make me happy!

With that face, I think he can totally ROCK the lion cut!

Just hanging out with hubby and the kitties make me so happy - doing nothing in particular - just spending time together.
I did not know how much sunshine can make me happy till I moved to Cleveland last year

The kitties and the beautiful male goldfinches and dogwoods in bloom and clean clothes and chocolate.


Oh, and hugs from my great nieces and nephews.


And humorous posts on TCS.
