10 Things That Make Me Happy
- My daughter's smile! It's so sweet, I want to pour it on my pancakes!!
- The sound of my Husband's laugh.
- A big pipping hot cup of coffee.
- Chatting on the phone with my sister, laughing until our bellies ache.
- My compost pile. There is something very empowering about turning what appears to be trash, into rich soil.
- Getting my hair cut. I only do it about every 6 months (if that). I will literally be on cloud nine for weeks after!
- My dogs! They are so hilarious and cute. Even if I'm having the worst day ever, they make me smile through my tears.
- Really old friends. The kind you don't hear from for months, but the minute you do its like you just met for coffee yesterday. Love that!!
- Snapping the perfect photograph. A picture so full of life that when you find it years later, your transported back to that very day.
- Riding around in the car on a sunny day, windows down, and Tom Petty on the radio. Bliss.
Now it's time to pass this lovely award on. I look forward to hearing your happy 10:
