30 Things That Make Me Happy
It’s been a challenging week with little opportunity for deep, creative thinking. That can be frustrating, but I decided to shift my perception from frustrated to ‘how can I take advantage of this limited amount of time?’.
The result was to create a “Things That Make Me Happy” list!
There’s no sense of order in this list, I’ve written it exactly as it came out of my head.
The most interesting thing to me about the list is how simple it is. All these things are easily doable, but, we clutter our lives with so many “shoulds” and “musts” that it can be easy to lose sight of the easy little things we can do or indulge in every day that will lift our mood a little.
So let’s not babble on any more…here’s my 30 Things That Make Me Happy List 🙂 !
Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.
