Happiness Is...

My happiness is:

Dancing to Tevin Campbell with my two littles in the living room.

Watching The Pink Panther with my five year old and listening to him laugh hysterically and say, "this is a funny part, Mommy, watch!"

Reading my three year old his current favorite book, 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear."

My family.

Music. So much music.

Breathing in freshly cut grass.

A lavender bubble bath…super hot (of course).

Jogging when I need to clear my mind.

Ash Wednesday and Lent.

Finding out that Pluto was a planet again. This made me very happy. (Conversely, it made me sad when it was knocked off the list of planets. Don't ask me why, I couldn't tell you.)

Being in a bookstore and breathing in the smell of the books.

Getting lost in a book. Reading. Reading. Reading.

Orange and Cinnamon Spice tea.

Crunching acorns outside with my feet because I like the sound it makes.

Biking.

Laughing so hard with friends I can't stop.

Rocking my three year old to sleep.

My five year old snuggling up in bed with us in the middle of the night.

Daydreaming. I do this too often.

Feeling loved so completely.



Just a few of the little things that make me happy. A few of my favorite things.
Oh, and listening to my "Indie happy" playlist. Never lets me down when I need some cheering up.

Have a happy Wednesday night…and rest of your week. :)

Certain recent events (both personal and in the news) have reinforced in me to be thankful for what I have. I definitely have been, but i...
