*2Flower* To You

I found this while

I found this while going thorough some photos and stuff my mom gave me. I e-mailed a long list to her back in April 1997. I've changed quite a bit since then, so I'll share what still applies to me now (about 1/4 of the original list):

The Secrets of Happiness:

1. Writing every day -- even the aggravating and mundane stuff


2. Reading comedy books, how-to books, inspirational books, book-books, and books


3. Keeping a prayer in my heart

6. An abundance of earplugs


7. Dave Barry


8. Bananas


9. A soak in the tub with a good book and aromatherapy


10. The smell of lemons


11. 100% cotton


12. A purring cat
