My Happy List May 2021
The best way to pick yourself up out of a funky mood or just feel extra motivated? Reflect on the little things in life that make you smile. I started doing this a few years ago and I felt like it was time to round up another list of things that make me feel joy. Here are a few of the things that make me happy right now. Let my list inspire you to go make your own!
- The way Lake says character names from Star Wars, like “D2 D2” for R2D2 and “Doh Doh” for Darth Vader
- When Daniel makes salmon for dinner
- Derby’s snuggles
- That Lake loves couscous as much as I do
- Watching trash TV like “Below Deck” with Daniel
- When Dug and Walter greet me at the door at my parent’s house
- Lake’s giggle
- Pancakes with peanut butter and syrup
