Things you Own that Simply Just Make You Happy

I know, I know...people say that material, artificial things don't bring happiness, there is no such thing as real happiness, etc... But I'm sure that all of us have at least one posession that they treasure.
What is yours?

Mine is my really antique copy of SENSE AND SENSIBILITY. It's one of my favorite books, and I really love old, old books that smell like......old books. All of my friends think it's ugly and say I should sell it..maybe I'd get a good price on ebay, blah blah blah, but I think it's so pretty. My mother bought it for me on my 13th birthday. She found it in some obscure little bookshop in France. It was a very random English book in a store of old French books that were published but no one really cares about, I suppose.

Yup yup. Whatever does it for ya.

Yeah I shouldn't have written "little". Ah well.

That's good for you, madbrian. I know TONS of people who would sell it immediately.

The half-empty bottle of rum in my fridge, for starters.

---

The seven Chinese slaves I bought through mail order.

---

My 3 little kitties .......

All the hand written notes I've received over the years are up there too.

Our puppy makes me happy!

My Veronica Mars Dvds.

Actr! That is glorious.

I think my dogs are the only things that truly qualify.

I have a few. I have like an 120 year old book "The History Of Australia" which amuses me since Australia didn't have much of a history back then (but it does include New Zealand and Fiji).

Actually I have quiet a collection of antique books but that has always been my favorite.

Actr, that is quite a wonderful furnishing!


Mine are rather simple;
- a few programs (one signed by Sally Struthers, one signed by Jon Peterson, and another signed by Raul Esparza)
- a little lamb my father got while he was in rehab after his surgery (which gave to me as an Easter present)
- a black/white boa that the costume designer from a production of The Music Man (that I was in) let me keep.

---

- llamas
- the song "You Are My Sunshine"
- the idea of someone walking a cow on a leash
- imagining people bald
- duct tape
- Stephen Baldwin's church of extreme sports
- daisies
- daffodils
- Canada
- Martin Van Buren's hair


ETA: Whoops. I missed the phrase "you own" somehow.
