1. Let’s hear it for the comfy pj’s and fluffy socks – hurray!

   • Yeeeesssssss, comfy pj’s and fluffy socks are INDEED the best!! **giggle**

2. I love the part of your children — I feel that way about my future dogs 🙂

   • Tee Hee!! Love it 🙂 I’m sure your dogs will be lovely!!

3. So many wonderful things on your list, I have to say many of them would be favs of mine too, the cool breeze on a sunny day with the smell of fresh cut lawn in the air for me was yesterday, bliss.

   • Oh, now I’m jealous!! Living in downtown Cincinnati I very rarely get to experience the “fresh cut lawn” much anymore. It was fun to make this list… I hope others make one for themselves too!!

4. Oh Bookstores, they bring so much excitement… and the smell of books makes my heart float! Nice photos! ♥♥♥

   • Yes, Joycelyn I couldn’t agree more!! My mom and I could get lost in a library or bookstore. For the longest time I would shop for and buy books… lots of books, then put them on a shelf and never read them. **sigh** That bad habit has since changed… I’ve made time to read!! Thanks for checking out Candy Coated Reality!! xo

     • I am guilty of that! I have not even opened up some books 😦 haha! time to read again!

5. You got most of them! I also quite enjoy “scrapbooking”. 🙂

6. Oh, Amber (aka, The Smile Scavenger) you are better than me!! Unfortunately, I have no patience for crafts of any kind including scrapbooking. My sister loves anything crafty, DIY and scrapping too – I always laugh and say, “I have people for that kinda stuff!” Ha!! Enjoy your Happy Place 🙂

7. I love this; it makes me happy! 🙂

   I post my own lists like this on my blog. They are my “Gratitude” posts because I don’t believe these wonderful little things should be taken for granted. I’m grateful for all things big or small that bring happiness into my life. 🙂
   Inspired by your post, I’m now going to write another gratitude post. Thank you!!

8. Thanks, Kcoman!! Each blog is for me… as a reminder of lessons learned, things to be grateful for, etc… yet it brings me such joy when I hear my blogs also help others. I so appreciate your comment 🙂 Keep up your gratitude posts… can’t wait to read them!! xo!!

18. Thank you for visiting my quotes post. I love this blog of yours. You have such beautiful happy places. My most memorable happy place goes with the saying “Ignorance Is Bliss”. When I was 8 years old and out with my Papaw on the farm, he and his helpers were fedding the pigs and cows. I stood on the fence by the pigs since I was told to “stay out of the way”. I picked up a stick and a pig was nearby. I poked him in the behind that had what looked like big pink rubber balls on it and it squealed like crazy, so I kept doing it and laughing at the pig. My papaw yelled at me and told me to “stop, you’re hurting the pig”. I asked why, and he said “you don’t ever poke at anyone’s jewels and that’s all you need to know.” At about the good old age of 30, I recalled the incident to someone and they told me you were hitting the poor pig’s testicles and that they sell them in stores. I made a trip to a local grocery store to see, picked up a pack and laughed myself to tears. LOL Needless to say I felt guilty and wished I could go back and apologize to the pig. It still is a happy moment for me because of the joy it brought hearing the pig squeal so melodiously. Mountain Oysters are one thing I will NEVER digest.

    • Ha! Ha! Ha! Your comment made me giggle!!! And yes “Ignorance can certainly be BLISS” Ha!! You have a very vivid memory!! Funny that your Papaw simply said, “You don’t ever poke at anyone’s jewels” – so funny 🙂 xo!!

      • Yes ma’am. All of my childhood memories were great which was a blessing which is easy to remember. At the age of 4 , my papaw taught me how to wirte and read. He always made me write things down so I would not forget. He said my brain ran as fast as my mouth. I share them with my grands and I see my “mischievousness” side in a fun way in them all. Be very blessed!- Shelia
