10 Things that Make Me Happy.
I'm doing this 30 day write every day challenge. Today I read the list then forgot all about the first post. So I'm off to a great start so far. This post is the 10 things that make me happy.
Sleep.
I am a mom and my toddler is still learning about how to stay in her own bed at night. And how to take decent naps during the day. When I get a chance to sleep it is a great thing. Especially this time as I was about to tuck in for the night then remembered I was suppose to do this.
2. My husband.
In the two years we have been married I have loved more and more the life I have with him and how perfect he is for me. Getting to lay next to him every night is one of the best parts of my day.
3. Food.
Three or more times a day I get to prepare food and take a break to eat it. Honestly I think food can make any difficult/boring life situation better. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this. Come on people think with me: work meetings, long car rides, social gatherings, court dates, homework, school, church, parent teacher conferences, kids sports games/school functions... these are all much more fun with food.
4. Music.
Similar to the food thing. Music makes everything more enjoyable. Plus if your like me and like to break out in song, it's less awkward if there was already music playing and I just started to sing along.
5. Exercise.
This one is kind of a cheat. Since exercise releases endorphins (a.k.a. happy juice) into the body, excersice technically makes everyone happy.
6. Math.
Defeating the challenge of a difficult problem and coming out victorious. Also, when done correctly, math always works out. I like to write out every step of my solutions and look back at how nice it looks all neat and with equal signs all lined up and the answer tucked in a box. ..... it's not weird.
7. Kids. Kids come up with the funniest things sometimes. It is hard to stay firm with some of them because they look so cute. They make me happiest though when they are sleeping and/or entertaining themselves.
8. A Clean house.
Clutter makes me crazy and I'm more relaxed when I can look around at a clean area with minimal stuff crowding in the corners.
9. Throwing stuff away.
Feeds into my hatred for clutter. I have often found myself contemplating throwing away dirty Tupperware because it didn't fit in the last dishwasher load of the night and I was too tired to wash it and put it away before bed..... I may have a problem.
10. Re- arranging furniture.
Because moving things around makes it feel like you moved. It's a new living room, bedroom, dining room and usually it is also clean since moving big furniture gives me a chance to clean in the corner that is usually blocked by the big thing. Plus I find all kinds of lost things when stuff gets moved around. It's the small things in life.
What are some things that make you happy? As a bonus number 11: Writing makes me happy. Honestly after I made this list I thought of a bunch more.... but like I mentioned before..... sleep is my number one.
Happy New Year everybody. May you always remember your top 10 of what makes you happy and carry that with you through the tough times.
