Recently I have been working on figuring out exactly what makes me happy and spending time doing that and letting other things go. Here are a handful of things that make me crazy happy.
1- A nice glass of wine sitting on my patio or at Mutts. It is nice to be outside and relaxing with nothing else to do.
2- Trying out new recipes in the kitchen, even if they aren't amazing it was fun to try something different.
3- A nice two mile run, I never thought that this would be me but I find that 2 miles is just enough to take all of the stress of the day away and not so long that I am exhausted. I am loving my evening runs.
4- Phone calls with my girls. So many of my friends live far away so I love getting to spend time with them and hear about their adventures and lives. It is so much better than emails, I can hear their best moments and the ones that are hard too.
5- this one is pretty cheesy but I love that my dog sleeps next to me in the bed. I love that we snuggle for a few minutes before we sleep and sometimes in the morning. She makes me happy, all the time.
I have been taking the time to think about and relish in what makes me happy. Sometimes it is hard to articulate the things that bring the most joy but I am finding that remembering the things that bring some joy are equally important. I don't need to meet anyone else's definition of happy, I just need to know what makes me happy in this moment.
Most days a few minutes with the pup make everything better. She is the best thjng I ever bought.
