Swampy's Fun Monday challenge is to pick a theme and then list down, using each letter of the alphabet, all the words, phrases or photos related to that theme.
I really had a hard time picking a theme for this challenge but in the end settled on 'Happiness' because it is what we all need and sometimes, it is easier than we think to attain it.
A - Aaron. Of course.
B - Blogging.
C - Cheesecakes.
D - Deep fried food. Unhealthy but the occasional treat definitely makes me happy.
E - Exercise. It releases endorphins.
F - Figuring out a Sudoku puzzle.
G - Giving gifts.
H - Hugging.
I - Internet. Just a few minutes can often perk me right up from any bad moods.
J - Joining online communities. Living in Palembang often has me feeling isolated but once again, the internet has solved my problems.
K - Kellogg's Special K. I love these. They are my favorite breakfast cereal.
L - Listening to Michael Buble.
M - My family. Any and all time spent with them is full of laughter.
N - Noticing something special on somebody else and complimenting them on it.
O - Overlook annoyances. Definitely easier said than done.
P - Planting my own vegetables. I started this last year and am amazed by how happy I get eating food from my garden.
Q - Q from Star Trek. All the episodes with Q are my favorites.
R - Reading a really thick fantasy novel.
S - Simplicity. I can be fussy but for most of the time, I try to keep my needs simple.
T - Talking with an old friend.
U - Using my hands. It makes me feel like I'm doing so much more and gives me a really full sense of accomplishment.
V - Visiting Friends.
W - Walking in the morning sunshine.
X - X-tra time to myself whenever Richard is home.
Y - Yellow. Its a happy colour.
Z - Zip-a-dee-doo-dah. This song always makes Aaron laugh and that makes me happy.

A nice list...I do believe I can agree that most of the things on your list being me happiness, too! Ah...deep fried foods...I'm craving a Monte Cristo sandwich right now!
Thanks for playing Fun Monday!
What a great topic. Those things make me happy too although we might have to substitute some names of people. :) I am trying to leave the deep fried food alone for awhile.
Love your topic. Gives me such a nice warm fuzzy just reading it. I especially love "Z."
Thanks for playing the game and have a zippy-de-doo-dah week.
I'm off to go fry a Twinkie and it's all your fault.
I like zippity doodah, too!!
'My oh My what a wonderful post'
Your list is wonderful! You are filled with lots of love. This post made me smile.
food tastes so much better out of a garden. moving too far away to get garden treats is a REAL bummer to me! I grew marigolds last year (not hard), but it made me so glad every day to see their sunny blooms. we did get some home-canned tomato juice, green beans, tomatoes, and a few potatoes, those tasted SO good compared to stupid store potatoes! ohh and fresh onions in a sauce, sigh... I love to watch things grow and pick them at the height of freshness. I dont like to plant, though, that stinks! ha!
I like your list! Happy Monday to you!
What a happy ABCs. Excellent Fun Monday!
Very well done.
I do find it interesting how the internet brings such a diverse group together. Can you remember life without it?
great happy list...I love it!!
A great eclectic list~ I fully agree with Pamela's comment!
What a great list! "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah" is a classic...now I can't get the tune out of my head! As for your "O," my mother always used to tell us "little things affect little minds"...I try to think about that whenever I get aggravated (but it doesn't always work). And I can really relate to your "P" since I started seriously keeping my herb garden...there's nothing in all the world like eating something you grew yourself.
