Sometimes I need to remind myself of all of the things that once made me smile...
Although I am thankful to have experienced these things that have given me so many smiles and natural highs, this is not a list of the things I am solely thankful for.
This is just a list of things that make me happy :)
Pedicures
Hugs and Kisses
Dancing
Watching musicals (The Newsies, Jesus Christ Super Star, Hairspray, RENT, Grease, West Side Story, Annie)
Roller coasters
Receiving kisses from my daughter
Singing along to music I grew up to
Having a good hair day
Going to visit my family in NJ
Christmas music, decorating the Christmas tree, Christmas Eve candlelight church service
Hitting a really good sale
Donating money to charities
Old Disney movies
Receiving a greeting card the old fashioned way (snail mail)
That moment when you go to a music concert and you feel like you have a special connection with the artist
Parades
Baking
Swimming in the ocean
Freshly shaved legs
That moment when a new baby wraps it's hand around your finger
Receiving flowers
These are all things, in no particular order that make me smile.
Freshly shaved legs, :D. My fav things include empty laundry basket, mani/pedi, and hugs/kisses from my boy.
ReplyDeleteAh yes! An empty laundry basket and an empty sink! Totally very important things that I forgot! :) Kisses from the kiddos are the best!
DeleteJust want to say, I understand and totally agree with that list. Awesome post :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and commenting, Melissa! I would also like to add to my list: SLEEP! :)
DeleteFreshly shaved legs is also the one that stood out for me (since it doesn't happen very often these days, being cold and all...)! The Trifecta Writing Community just wrapped up a weekend challenge of 33 words with My Favorite Things! And I just found out this morning that I placed top three for the first time EVER! I wish I had more words to write, since I would have added your empty sink and laundry basket, too! :)
