I was inspired by Everything’s Looking Rosie to put together a list of 50 Things That Make Me Happy – Wednesday’s can be tough, especially rainy ones, so what better way to get through a long day than thinking of all the amazing things in life that make you smile.
Here goes nothing!
- My frenchie, Zara
- Climbing into bed after a long day
- Sleeping on freshly cleaned sheets
- My Mom’s spaghetti and meatballs
- Good hair days
- Birthday’s
- Buffalo chicken anything
- Waking up to the smell of coffee on the weekends
- Notes for no reason (from my favorite human <3 )
- Good smelling candles
- Curb appeal (Fixer Upper anyone?)
- Flavored seltzer water
- Laughing until I {almost} cry
- Spontaneous happy hours with friends
- Sunrises
- Random outbursts of song and/or dance
- Puns + cheesy jokes
- Getting a good deal
- Productive Sunday’s (kicking off the week right)
- Lazy Sunday’s (…we all need these every now and then)
- Elephants
- Good eyebrows (respect the brow game)
- Catching up with old friends
- Meeting new people and realizing you get along really well
- A clean house
- Laying on the beach
- Looking through old pictures
- Wineries
- Ravens Tailgates
- Baking
- Doodling
- DIY projects
- Pretty latte art (because I could never make pretty latte art)
- Brunch
- People who remember your name after meeting them (I try hard at this… but am not always the best at it)
- Getting off work when it’s still light outside
- Blogging
- Being outside when the weather is just perfect.
- Sanwhiches (I love sandwhiches)
- Singing throwback songs (Spice Girls, N’Sync, Backstreet Boys, shall I go on?)
- Planning vacations
- Surprises
- Hugs from loved ones (because sometimes hugging a stranger can be awkward 😉 )
- Those videos of babies laughing really hard
- Ellen (just everything about her)
- The endorphin rush you get after a good workout (or when the endorphin rush kicks in during a workout)
- Stepping out of your comfort zone and discovering something new
- Old Bay (on errrrthing)
- My family
- Smiling for no reason at all and realizing how many things you have in your life to be happy about.
There you have it folks – my ‘50 Things That Make Me Happy‘. As Rosie menionted in her post, I thought this was going to be tough, but it was actually really easy! As I sit here and finish up this blog post I’m actually (or awkwardly…) smiling.
SO, here’s my challenge to you – take a shot at your list, really, what are you waiting for?
Cheers!
