I thought it was a most excellent idea when super British blogger Suzie81 Speaks declared she was starting her Weekly Word Challenge with this popular word of late.
Happy.
Easy one for me.
My dear wife Karen makes me happy every day.
She makes me happy when she points during the Knapp stop on our wine tour and says excitedly, “Shoot the ‘K.’ ”
She makes me happy when she comes directly from work for a night with me at the Syracuse Area Music Awards.
She makes me happy when we’re goofing around about my new Dunkin’ Donuts “Friends Don’t Let Friends Drink Starbucks” t-shirt with a cup of Starbucks foo-foo that she adores.
She makes me so happy that even Bitstrips knows, offering up this close-to-life moment to her Facebook page.
You can see Suzie81’s challenge post at this link.
What’s your happy moment of late? If you don’t want to share with Suzie 81, at least tell me!





This is awesome!

This is excellent, Mark! I am always a ‘sucker’ for happy endings! I love yours and Karen’s relationship. It is not easy to find, but I will keep my eyes open and heart ready! I am happy while with my Mom, my brothers, my kids and my grandkids. I like to hear good stuff happening to others and am never jealous, either! Smiles, Robin
