So, lately I've been a little overwhelmed, stressed, and overbooked! Last night I took some time to myself, had a glass of wine and thought about all the little things that make me happy. I know it's a little cheesy, but sometimes I think it's nice to remember all of life's little moments that make us smile. So, here's my list of the little things that make me smile, in no real order...
- a clean kitchen and the sound of the dishwasher running
- a glass of wine on the back deck, soul music playing on the outdoor speakers and the kids playing together
- cool crisp mornings on the front porch, before the kids wake up, with coffee, the newspaper and Chad
- Saturday mornings at Carson's soccer games
- Sunday night dinner at my parent's house
- adoration of the blessed sacrament
- clean laundry that is folded AND put away
- lunches made and clothes set out the night before school
- hearing Carson and Kennedy playing nicely together
- Wednesday mornings (My kindergarten class starts their day in P.E., so I get an early morning break!)
- all school mass
- dinner together as a family
- a clean car with a full tank of gas
- lunch with my family after mass
- reading a good book
- an afternoon nap
- holiday decorations
- hearing Carson and Kennedy talk excitedly about their new new baby brother or sister that we are planning to adopt
- colorful leaves in the fall
- going to bed early
- 80's music
- fresh flowers
- being prepared
What are your simple pleasures??
