"Happiness List"
A little rope swing or hammock on the balcony
Candles letting go of the summer warmth
Hot tea and coffee in a teapot
Earrings out on tables and brooches and pearls
Lamplight in the windows on a rainy day
When it's just starting to get cold out
Blankets for the cold nights
Warming one's feet to a fireplace heater
finding hand me downs in closets
taking a bath and grooming then putting on a robe
makeup when it's just the two of you
medicated stuff and face creams
hand lotion and night cream
jewelry boxes full of old memories
looking at old photographs
being warm in the winter, cuddled up
cuddling up with the one you love
brushing your hair gently and looking in the mirror
trying on earrings, a dish for rings
Christmas lights and decorations all year round
removing makeup with cleansing wipes
reading old magazines in bed
looking beautiful no matter what one is wearing
hair up into a soft loose bun with bobby pins
