What a great list!!!! There's several things on there that I TOTALLY, 100%, agree with. Not that I don't agree with other items on your list....any-way, that sucks that your hubby's gone a lot.
chocolate covered strawberries...actually had one today; it was gooood!
I'm saying two:
I'm happy for a good job! and
I'm happy for my family!
Sunshine... I have really been wanting this winter to be over!!! Now if only the wind would stop blowing, it might feel like spring!
Organized house...I love emptying a box and breaking it down after unpacking it. Love putting everything in the exact right place.
I love your cold tap water too. That is some good water!
My sis-in-law, Shannon, who is so awesome and strong and tough and is such a good example to me of enduring hard things.
Hang in there, Shan! Have fun in Seattle! Stop by if you need a little breaky break. Love you!
Right now, one thing that makes me happy is that I know that I can do anything I set my mind to do.
Great list by the way!
I had a great day yesterday after I started the day off with "happy thoughts".
My happy thought for today, that I didn't put on my list, is my Mini-van. I love that it is family friendly (automatic doors, dvd player, fold down seats, drives well, cruise control, gets decent gas milage, good stereo, heats up fast, good defroster... ok seriously I could go on) I won't mention it has dents and no ipod jack... but I'm trying not to think about that.
I am LOVING Mama Mia right now too. I watched it on Mon. and if I didn't have so much other stuff going on, I'd be watching it right now. I wish we could watch it together.
Taking a day off when your sister and her family are in town.
(Come visit all the rest of you sisters out there.)
We had a great time with the Tophams.
Making a list like this really helps doesn't it? A year or two ago I would always write down every night a few things that made me smile that day, I need to start that up again!
I agree with ALL of yours, and I will add: Thursday afternoons! (like right now) They are awesome because you know that tomorrow is Friday! (AND The Office is on!)
sunny, warm days where we can go outside and play, or just sit by the window and enjoy it!
being healthy... having the ability to eat healthy and exercise... going on a run (in a 1/2 hour)
love you!
clean sheets
ice water
fun times with family (see my blog)
: )
My old college roommates make me happy. I love looking back on the good times and remembering how much they taught me. I also love blogging and keeping in touch with people that mean a lot to me! Make yourself a joy jar and everyday write down on a slip of paper something that brought you joy that day. It really helps you count your blessing and notice the little things.
Great post. Its always good to count your blessings. I hope your house sells soon!
I am grateful for sunshine that is out today. Its been a while since we have seen it.
Have a great day!
Is there a Maggie Moos in Seattle? It would be a long drive back to Spokane to go there. Good list
Billy Joel
What a great idea Shannon. Right now I am grateful for sleeping kids. They are so sweet when they are sleeping.
