Happy
I’m fighting the urge to make this a cop-out post. It’s day 17 of the Summer Blog Challenge and my brain is mush. It would seem that not getting nearly enough sleep last night followed by a busy day today isn’t the best environment for coherent thoughts.
In the name of this not being a cop-out post (quite), I’m going to tell you about seven things that make me happy:
1) My kids. Obvious, I know, but really so true! I love watching them unfold and grow. Before I was a mom, I had no idea that watching another’s happiness could make me so happy as well.
2) That husband guy. I know, obvious again, but way too important to be left out. I’m really enjoying Liam working from home now and getting to see him more. It’s nice to be able to say hi when I pop downstairs to get something out of the fridge or do laundry. And the kids love seeing him more too!
3) Friends. I spent today with friends and my heart is happy tonight. I’m blessed to have some pretty amazing people in my life.
4) Being outside. Now that the mosquito infestation seems to have tapered off a bit (knock on wood!!) we’ve been spending more time outdoors. I feel better outside, more whole and awake. Three cheers for the gorgeous end of summer we’re getting!
5) Positive feedback from clients. I always say that my payment for the work I do is the satisfaction I get from impacting people’s lives, and getting to hear how our sessions have made changes for my clients is like a giant Christmas bonus.
6) Pretty things on Pinterest! Pinterest has turned into my pretty thing therapy. I browse pictures of beautiful places and words that inspire me, and suddenly I feel more able to meet the mundane tasks of everyday life.
7) Martin Sexton. I dare you to try not to feel happier while listening to Diner.
