Hi girl, tanks fore being a freind….. It´s making me so glad to knowing you.
Number 75: Jeanette’s friendship and artistic talent!
Thank you for working so hard to be a happy person. We need more people like you who are willing to be happy at all costs in the world.Your list makes me wanna sing . . .
I think I’m going to make a list of my 100 happy things. I sure hope I have as many as you! (smiles)
What? What happened to the last 15? It only went to 85……so disappointing! I think I’ll try to figure out 100 things I love……or 100 things I hate. Maybe that would be easier. You’re a funny girl….I like you!
Pat
A girl needs ambition, Pat…
Thanks for steping by, love your lay-out…… how did you do the banner?
I just read your 100 things again….they are even more interesting as I get to know you better. You are a very generous, thoughtful gal…..I don’t just “like” you….I “love” you. You’re the real deal. I mean that…….

[...] was supposed to be a happy 100, but hers is a bit long. Greedy Liz! She apparently was inspired by Soul Glo and HER happy 100 list. So without further ado, here we [...]
OOooh, I love your happy things! I love so many of the things you do – I must have read Bridget Jones five times in a row!
i love your 100 things list. i need one of these. i’m not as creative
What a great list. I had to laugh at the mother-in-law part, guess why! Love Robin Thicke. He is a standard on my ipod. You sound like you really love your family and that makes me smile. I will have to think about mine. I probably have more than 100 and some of them are x-rated. lol and blushing.
As it SHOULD be, Sandy!
