Things that bring me Happiness

Besides the obvious (my family and friends...and my antidepressants) these are the small things in life that put a smile in my heart.

Morning coffee made by Josh. I dont know what the man puts in it, but he makes the BEST coffee. Maybe its just the fact that I didnt have to make it myself?

Hairdryers. These have always been source of comfort for me. Call it my "mechanical security blanket". My mom used to let me lay in her lap and she would blow dry my hair while I fell asleep. To this day, the sound of a blow dryer puts me to sleep.

Art History. I'm a nerd. A creative one, at that.

Naps. Actually its more like those moments right after you lay down for a nap, and right before you actually fall asleep. Your mind goes out for a walk in the park and drifts to the most random things. Pure relaxation....

Gourmet cupcakes. A cupcake is like the dollhouse version of a cake. Perfection in a tiny bite.

The way my feet look and feel after a pedicure.

The smell of bonfires and the crunching sound of leaves under my feet in October.

A fresh pair of pajamas.

The exhausted feeling after a day at the pool.

Knowing that Ellie Kate is sleeping safely in her crib. This might actually be more comforting than the hairdryer.................

Nope.

A chilly bottle of Relax Riesling. Yummy fruity alchoholicy goodness.

The Saturday afternoon sound of lawn mowers buzzing around the neighborhood.

Breakfast buffets. I love breakfast soooooooo much. Everything about it is yummy. What other meal can you have a meat and a dessert on the same plate?

Have a Happy weekend!
