Today a friend asked me, so what makes you happy Mālie? So I thought I’d share a list of things that make me happy, in no particular order.

• Seeing my niece and nephews discover and grow and watching them enjoying being a kid
• Peace signs
• Seeing someone smile
• Hearing someone laugh (especially my mom)
• Catching someone in those moments when they think no one else is watching then both of us smile like idiots or belly laugh
• Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream
• Sushi
• Salt and Vinegar chips
• Mangoes
• Cottage Cheese & Pineapples
• Bananas
• Volkswagen’s
• Bubbles
• Jones Green Apple soda
• Frogs
• Horses
• Kisses & Hugs
• Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
• Almond Joy
• Peanut M&M’s
• Missing all the traffic coming into Wai’anae
• Starry nights
• Coca-Cola
• How I Met Your Mother
• My boyfriend ❤
• The ocean (I’d say beach but sand doesn’t make me happy)
• Music
• Books (especially ones that I finish the same day I start)
• My Touch Lifer coworkers :-D
