My grandmother’s hand-knitted washcloths. In the morning, & at night – when I reach for one-It always makes me smile.
The smell of a woodstove/fire while outside in the winter cold.
Baby pygmy goats. Don’t laugh. I love them. I can’t help it. If anyone has an adorable baby goat they would like to share custody of, please inform me as soon as possible.
The happy pile of dogs and barn cats that don’t stay where they are supposed to, creating a traffics jam outside the front door….what a happy mess!
The feeling of being the first one up in a house early in the morning. Hot coffee held between papery hands, and new notebooks cracked open with a smile.
The anticipation of the fact that I DON’T have to keep my Christmas Presents a secret for THAT much longer…I can do this. I can not tell what everyone is getting….Listen to more Holiday music to calm down. (If you couldn’t tell, I’m a Christmas freakJ)
Re-packing a suitcase that hasn’t been unpacked yet, to travel to a new place for new adventures.
Writing a book with my best friend and sister. You know you are best friends when you are able to function within business together, and love every second of it!
Seeing the look of happiness and a smile on someone’s face that you love.
New pens, paper and ink….these will create worlds you never even dreamed of.
Family. No matter what happens in this crazy life, no matter how mad they drive you sometimes around the holiday’s…family is really all we have. Don’t loose that, retain those relationships and cherish them, you may not always have the luxury of choosing.
Bravery. Sometimes, you have to do things you are terrified to do. And that is ok. Go out there into that big ol’ scary world, and be brave. It will stay with you the rest of your life.
Hugs and lots of love to my wonderful readers, I hope you are having a very Merry Christmas!
(Yes, I’m allowed to say that now…so until Dec 26th, you will probably hear it a lot from me!)
What are your list’s of things that make you the happiest?
xoxo
