Considering how this year is going, I thought I’d list fifteen things that make me happy right now because we all need more happiness in our lives, right?
Feel free to add items in the comments; let’s all make a super long list of things that make us happy!
- My 2-week old grandbaby! I’m sure no explanations are necessary, but she’s healthy and adorable and owns me completely
- All the autumny foods I’m can cook now. Soups may be my favorite kind of food.
- Two musical heroes that I’ve loved forever but that have been putting out meh music for a decade or so, have finally released something that reminds me of why I love them. Alanis Morissette and Erasure, I’m looking at you.
- Lighting up dark Swedish evenings with an abundance of candles
- The crisp, fresh fall air
- My writing mornings. Getting out of bed early to write every day allows me to be more creative in my life in general, and I love it.
- My writing buddies. Having people to talk to who understand is invaluable.
- The wonderful bracelet my husband gave me for my birthday. I can’t stop looking at it with heart-eyes
- Christmas planning. I’ve been in a holiday mood and read Christmas stories for a month already. I can’t wait for this year’s holiday stories to start dropping
- A nice, hot beverage on a chilly October day. Green tea is always a favorite, but chai latte made from my homemade chai syrup is a close second.
- Using pen and paper when writing, instead of my laptop or other electronic devices.
- The group chat I have with my BFFs
- My bullet journal. It keeps me both organized and happy.
- My wild mint scented candles. They smell so nice! And why is it that everything tastes or smells just a little better if you put “wild” in front of it? As in wild mint smells better than regular old mint? 🙂
- Reading in front of a YouTube fire. You have to make do with what you’ve got, right?
What a great list! I’m going to start one tomorrow!
Yay! I hope your list have many items that makes you happy! 🙂
