Happiness is ...

I've been tagged with another meme, well an award actually, but I'm not sure what it's being awarded for.


It's the "tree of Happiness" award, and I've been tagged by Aquila ka Hecate.

First, the rules of the award:

• Link to the person who gave the award to you.
• Post the rules on your blog.
• List six things that make you happy.
• Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
• Let each person know they’ve been tagged and leave a comment on their blog
• Let the person who awarded you know when your entry is up.

Six things that make me happy, or perhaps that have made me happy in the past.

1. Riding a horse over the veld on a cool misty overcast day and having hand licked by my dog
   
2. The kindness of friends, those I love.
3. The kindness of strangers.
4. Mozart's 39th symphony.
5. Good company and conversation.
6. Pascha, and St John Chrysostom's homily on the same.

As for who to tag, well, there's Bruce Alderman, NFM, James Higham, Crushed by Ingsoc, Omnash, and Bishop Alan.
