1. Family
Now more than ever being around family makes me happy. Its the time when I truly don't have to worry about anything and can just be myself. Nights with mom and my sisters. Dinner dates with dad. Small chats with my mother-in-law. Or just hanging out with the whole family at the lake. I love when they get to come visit us in Arkansas and even more when I get to make a quick trip home.
2. Scrolling through old photos
When Scott tried to convince me to get an iMac computer years ago, all he had to do is show me iphoto and I WAS SOLD. Not only do I love taking photos(not very good at it), but I love looking back through them. Next project is cleaning up iphoto with just my favs and best photos because it is starting to slow down because of too many photos.
3. Coke
This biggest addiction- pain in my side. Coke. I would love to be more healthy but this one is always that thing slowing me down. I love coke. I love coke. I can even substitute with pespi.
4. Getting stuff done
I know this is weird. But marking things off a list or just completing a project makes me happy and gives me that sense of self worth and accomplishment.
5. Watching movies
This is one of my favorite activities for Scott and I. We love movies. Going to movie in the theater, going to the mailbox to get the next netflix, or adding to our growing collecting of dvds and blue rays. This seems to be one of the few time when I can just sit and relax. Lets me mind take a break. Cause if you know me, I constantly have to be doing something or I fall asleep.
6. Sleeping in
We all know I love sleep. Feels so great to sleep in on the weekends and not have things I HAVE to get done. These days are too few lately.
7. A clean house
Even though this normally stresses me out during the process and before its complete. I love the feeling of coming home to a clean house. Just puts a smile on my face.
8. Old Navy - especially when new season clothes arrive
Love going into Old Navy and browsing through all of the summer clothes before summer arrives or fall clothes during the summer. They have the best deals. I am a total sucker.
9. Mexican food
Kelsey has this one on her list too, but so true. I swear every time we do make it in to town to go out to eat, Scott always asked what I want but knows deep down I probably just want Mexican food. Love chips and salsa. But love queso and guacamole just as much. Homemade guacamole always make my day.
10. Never-ending love from the dogs
Whether its watching the dogs chat and play, Einstein trying to sneak up on the couch or into the bed to cuddle with me, or them greeting me at the door with excitement. They always bring a smile to my face and keep me entertained.
11. Visits from friends
Now living in another state from all of our friends and family, visit from friends bring me much happiness. Even if its just for a few days. I love sharing our home and beautiful surroundings with them. Catching up like no time has passed.
I could probably go on, but those are a few that come to mind. It was great to sit now and think about the simple things that bring us happiness. I invite you to take time to reflect and share.
