I always try to remind myself how lucky I am for so many things. Clearly I have a wonderful husband, great family and friends, a great career, and home and health (and food). While I never forget those things, a lot of times it's the little daily happenings that bring a smile to my face and cause me to pause and reflect on all the goodness in my life. Below is just a quick list of the small things that have made me happy so far this week. This list is in no particular order and is by no means all inclusive.
- Receiving a package in the mail
- A good book on a rainy day
- The way 6 lb. Peanut sounds like a herd of elephants when she runs
- Pink nail polish
- Pink pajamas
- Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches (with pink ice cream...I'm seeing a theme here with pink)
- Ryan putting my vitamins out every morning because he knows I wouldn't take them if he didn't
- Green grass
- Everyday Food Magazine
- Evites
- Emails from friends and family
- Getting to use my umbrella
What are some small things that make you happy?
Ok, I'll post a comment to my own question as I received this right after I blogged:
ReplyDelete13) Nephew's cute school paper about his trip to visit us
Having a great daughter-in-law like you makes me happy every day.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great post because it's easy to forget about small things. My baby's smile makes me really happy. But also amazon prime. Which may sound weird, but I am not patient and I don't really like shopping and even if I did, it is a real pain to go anywhere now that I have a kid so the knowledge that I can get almost anything on my doorstep in 2 days (or 1 day for only $4 :-) ) without paying extra makes me quite happy.
