Everyone has ups and downs. Who better to tell us how to be happy than Oprah in her 10 Ways to Find Happiness article. Instead of keeping a Happiness Journal (I carry enough notepads in my purse as it is), here are photos to remind me of especially happy moments during a trip to Europe with Stephen.
Discovering the Louvre at sunset during an after dinner stroll in Paris. We entered through a back gate that I did not recognize. It was starting to get cold and I needed my jacket. 
Examining all the fine work in the Paris Oprah House. So grand and eloquent. 
Peeking through the lonely hallways.
Hot hot Provence. Driving through vineyards in 95 degree weather to taste a sip of Cote de Rhone.
Prague at sunset on the big bridge. Snapping many photos before enjoying a dinner of dark beer and stewed pork. Yummy yummy.
Making my picnic in Paris dream come true with Champagne, pate, and french bread.
And recording the day at a lovely dinner on our first night in Paris. We could not read the menu. The server surprised us with a pan of country pate. All you can eat pate? I'll take it.
We spent the afternoon at nearby cafe reading and snacking on cheese, sandwich, and Rose wine.
Even waiting in line at Notre Dame was a happy time.
Hot hiking through a small Provence town.
Discovering a secret garden in Zurich. Hair stylists from a nearby salon were getting drunk next to this fountain.
There are hundreds more photos, but here's a quick snapshot. Thanks Oprah. Feeling happiness just sharing these photos.
