10 Things That Make me Happy
- I don't think of myself as a cat person at all. I have absolutely no desire to pet or hold a cat, but there's something about our seven cats, and seeing how much the rest of the family loves them that makes me happy.
- Walking into a sparkling clean kitchen always makes me feel happy.
- Looking at the clock and seeing that I still have thirty minutes or so before bedtime to curl up in my favorite chair to read.
- Opening my email or Facebook and seeing a cheerful message from a friend always makes me smile.
- Rain, clouds, snow, fog .... basically any type of bad weather makes me feel happy. It evokes feelings of singing, crafting, baking, reading, games, and overall delightful family togetherness time. Even though I don't do all those things every time the weather is bad, I still get to enjoy the feeling.
- Having everyone gather around the supper table every evening always makes me feel happy and content.
- Spending time outside soaking in the beauty of nature.
- Homeschooling ... spending time with our children, and books, learning new things together.
- Sewing, crafting, cooking, baking for the ones I love.
- Conversations with our children. They cover a wide, wide range of topics. I really enjoy them so.
Wait... did I write this? This is me, even down to the 7 cats. I guess I'd have to admit I'm more of a "Spending time INSIDE soaking in the beauty of nature" type, but we have BIG windows, so it's really easy to do, and I have been outside for hours every day for weeks now (as in: now that it is cool enough to think straight), so that's close, right? Great list!!!
