What Small Things Make you Happy?
You know those little things that really just make your day? What things have brightened your day today (or previously)?
Re: What Small Things Make you Happy?
I am so super excited that not only were they able to fix my computer, but I was able to complete my file 2 hours before the deadline!!! My boss even came over to say how much she appreciated my hard work! Woohoo!
I'm also very excited that I'm going to treat myself to a Pumpkin Spice Latte on the way home today. I have to work late and DH is off to a guy's night. I'm looking forward to cuddling with Rudy and sipping on the best fall drink!
Waking up to the love of my life.
Coming home to dinner already made AND a clean kitchen
Snuggles from my kitty. This is no small feat. He doesnt like to be held, but once a day I get to hold him for a few minutes and hear that purrrr.
Reading a good book. And smiling once I put it down.
Silence. Daily I drive to work without the radio on and just listen to my thoughts (sometimes they are murderous but they are MY thoughts)
Holiday socks. LOVE.
The very few times the dog doesn't follow me into the kitchen.
When DH is actually home... and also cooks dinner!
My morning alarm clock... Miss Jimi, our 8lb tabby. She makes sure I don't over sleep on the week days, and amazingly usually leaves me be on the weekends.
Parking my car in the garage on rainy days (we only have a 1 car garage and DH's leaky soft top tracker usually gets the spot, when its not sitting at work and he brings home the box truck).
Waking up all cuddled with the hubs.
Hearing my dog yell at our alarm (she's just recently started this. . it's like shes half asleep and is groaning at it for it to shutup. . . I'm totally right there with her)
Having the windows open today. ALL the windows. Such a nice breeze!
Lucy coming to greet me when I get home from classes
)
DH mimicking Lucy's wiggle when she's all excited
Harriet our Hedgehog scurrying around
A clean car
)
List can can continue on and on!
When I get home some nights DH leaves just the glass door shut on the front door. As soon as I pull up my older dog, Chester, gets soooo excited and barks and hops up and down. There is nothing in the world that puts a bigger smile on my face.
When DH laughs. It's the first thing I ever noticed about him and the first part of him I fell in love with.
Ahhh this could not have come at a better day or time..
- The way Sugar wags her tail and is always excited to see me
- The way sugar's paws smell (she smells like corn tortillas)
- Morning kisses from hubster
- The cool air in the mornings
A good song on the radio
When I come home from work, having a little blue kitty jump into my car and meow "Hi!"
When Dh does something without me asking him first.
Real mail in the mailbox.
ETA: That moment when you realize that something you were really angry or upset about is either pretty easy to fix or pretty insignificant in the long run.
This post makes me happy.
Fall weather & being able to open the windows
Sleeping late (by late I mean until 7!)
Seeing birds in the yard, we have a pair of cardinals living outside our kitchen windows and I love watching them
Nap time!
This exactly! Maybe this should be a recurring post for this days we need a little pick-me-up!
I second this idea
)
1. Feeling a little flutter in my abdomen and knowing there's a future rock star thrashing around in there
.
2. We are moving back home to Florida shortly after the baby is born. I'm really excited to be near my family again.
3. Iced Chai Tea Latte
4. Bagles
5. Going for long walks.
6. I've only gained 2 pounds so far... right before getting pregnant I lost about 50 pounds and was a little concerned that I'd have a hard time losing the weight all over again, but at this rate the OB says everything is fine and I should just be grateful that I'm gaining slowly and in small quantities. So... I am!
7. Tim Burton and his crazy awesome movies that I HAVE to watch at the onset of Fall.
8. Mike Rowe... HOT.
