Things That Make Me Happy

Ian’s crooked smile. I don’t know why he has it and I don’t care – I love it!

Outside temperatures in the 60’s-70’s – Like today! Feels wonderful!

My close relationship with God.

The comfortable marriage that Mike and I share together – He is my soul mate and my very bestest friend.

The fact that my Mom is helping us so much with Ian – I know that she did a beautiful job raising my brother and I, so I am very thankful that Ian is getting to benefit from being with her too!

Chocolate in almost any form makes me very happy. However, I’m not really a huge fan of dark chocolate, but I will eat it if that is all that is around.

Ian’s giggle.

Friday evenings really make me happy – That’s my favorite time of the week!

Family outings, even if it is just a trip to the mall and dinner out.

Actually, eating out in general, whether with the family or by myself…

Long afternoon naps.

“And they all lived happily ever after.”

Positive feedback from the boss.

Spending time with my Mom.

Realizing when I do things like my Mom.

Realizing that I’m turning into my Mom.

When Mike cooks.

Checking off something on my to-do list.

Marking something off my to-do list because I decided that I don’t need to do it after all.

Reading a really good book.

Going to lunch with my friends and gabbing.

Taking a walk on a nice day.

Looking at pictures of family and friends.

I already mentioned chocolate, right?
