What makes me happy is my daughter Lauren. When my daughter was five my parents took her from me due to my alcoholism. I moved to florida April 4 2007, the day my daughter turned 19, with 10 1/2 years sobriety, my car payed off and money saved for the move after years of working two and three jobs.
mothers day 2008 I saw her get her associates degree with 3.8 GPA. Even though she lives five minutes from me, she sent me a card saying thanks for being at my college graduation, standing beside me and cheering me on

Making me happy? Happiness is a happening without a planned cause most oft he time. For me seeing success in the life of any of the prsons with disabilities whom I work with triggers happiness for me.

If you define being happy like feeling one of the big values, like JOY, LOVE, PEACE than I am happy by choosing to feel the JOY LOVE and PEACE unconditioned in every momenth of my life.
