happiness is… just smiling

Hello my friends! Happy Monday! Yes, I know you’re not all big fans of the ‘m’ word. Please take a smile ;) Did you have a good weekend? Is the sun shining where you are? Do you have a roof over your head?

I feel good this morning because….. well… I don’t really know. Nothing eventful happened over the weekend for me to brag about. Nothing happened. (I feel like George Costanza saying this in that episode of Seinfeld ;) But there’s a sweet little thing called happiness lifted way up in the air around me….

Here is what Happiness Is for me right now…..

• longer days
• the sun beaming into my kitchen – the sun never beams in my kitchen – I seriously laid my head on the counter and soaked it up laughing ;)
• spring cleaning – together as a family tackling each assigned room. although we’re nowhere near finished
• a new treadmill – we’re getting great use from it already especially since it got so darn cold again outside
• making raw goodies in the excalibur ~ my new naturally sweet dessert this weekend were Crêpes!
• a family trip to my favourite organic grocery store to make a Sunday feast – yes a grocery store makes me happy!
• later, making dinner together was crazy fun with tons of laughter and teasing ;)
• sticking to my ‘Cut the Sugar, Sugar’ Challenge is going well – I do not over do it – yet I still enjoy natural fruit-sweetened goodies
• just being thankful for what we have ~ our neighbour came over the other day with the news that they’re selling their house – the 50+ year old man had tears in his eyes when he talked to us
• being thankful for where we live ~ after watching the news with the devastation that Southern US went through with the tornados was really scary and heart breaking
• watching a cheery and very theatrical performance that my daughter lately does always makes me happy
• knowing that it’s supposed to warm up incredibly this week is always wonderful news in March ;)
• this song by Brandon and Leah – Life Happens (lovely, although it really makes me miss the beach
• and speaking of the beach. I just sold one of my beach prints last week – I think that’s a sweet sign to reopen my Pure Love Shop on etsy ;)

What is making you happy right now?
