Life is funny like that sometimes, and here I am, after two days of sunshine writing a blog post about it and how I am as happy as a clam. Exactly what is it about sunshine that makes everyone so elated? Sometimes I wish there was a way to bottle it up for anyone to enjoy, anywhere, anytime.
Sun or no sun, I've been doing a lot of thinking and exploring lately about what makes me happy. Here are a few things that have brought joy to my life this week:
My four-year-old nephew finally breaking out of his shell around me. All it took was a conversation about Mario Brothers and a game of "spin around in circles."
A freshly made bad every morning. Ok, ok, every afternoon. It may seem silly, but it's one small accomplishment to get each day off to a great start. The little control freak that I am, it matters to have this one little chore completed daily, when so much else in my life is in disarray.
There's nothing that can bring a smile to my face quicker than the sound the coffee pot makes right before it's finished brewing. It's almost my second alarm for the day, when I know that energy is just sips away.
This week I got lost in a book like I haven't done in years. I found myself so intrigued with the characters that when I looked up, I realized I had spent the whole afternoon reading, only to spend the rest of the evening, and into the wee hours of the morning, with my nose still in the book.
Oh, I don't know... maybe the fact that I am going to California this weekend!!! Eeek! In the middle of writing this post I got a little good news, and so off I go on what I hope to be my little adventure in moving home to the west coast!
What made you happy this week?
