Furiously Writing: 5 Small Things That Make Me Happy

Tuesday, May 26, 2015

Reading magazines in my comfy chair. I love magazines and subscribe to many. One of my favorite things to do first thing in the morning is to settle into my comfy chair and read magazines, undisturbed.
Babyface's dancing. His dancing is mostly jumping and spinning around while flailing his arms. He does it so unselfconsciously and joyfully, I love it.
When I'm really hungry and I find a protein bar in my car or handbag that I stashed for just such an occasion.
Trader Joe's dark chocolate bar with almonds. Very flavorful and rich, just the right size.
Last but not least, holding hands with My Heart's Desire. Most of our time together is spent in parent mode. But when Babyface is in bed or with a sitter, My Heart's Desire and I can relax together. I love holding hands with him while we go for a walk or just watch Once on Netflix.
