Because I’m happy!

When it comes to all things inspiring, a list of 32 things that make me happy just seems to cut the cake!  Luckily I ran into Meg’s post and ta-da, here I am to link-up as well!  Sarah is hosting this fabulous link-up today and I’m excited to share!

Let’s just get through the obvious….
{1} Disney
{2} Reese’s
{3} Nick
*not necessarily in that order*

Now… moving on!

{4} Planning and making lists and checking off lists
{5} Vegan double-chocolate cookies from Whole Foods

{6} Baseball games and the great weather that comes with it
{7} Road Trips!

{8} Sharpie Pens
{9} A killer workout class with no judgement and lots of sweat
{10} Paying bills way in advance.  I am so satisfied when the money is out of my account and I know exactly how much I have to spend without worrying about bills in the future
{11} Spontaneous lunches with people who make my heart oh so happy!  i.e. Nick’s sister-in-law sent me a text the other day to do lunch very spur of the moment and it was a glorious time had by all
{12} Doing small things for people, but knowing that they mean so much more than what they cost.  i.e. another example with Nick’s sister-in-law…. I went to Whole Foods the other day for lunch and picked up an extra cookie to drop by the school she teaches at.  Cookie= $1.25, Her Happiness + a mid-day hug= Priceless.
{13} Dreaming Big!  Dreaming about the place I want to be in 5, 10, 20 years and all the places I want to visit and explore.
{14} Any and all presents from Nick – he just gets me exactly what I need or want even when I don’t realize it’s what I need or want!  My goal for this year was to buy him the best presents yet because I always feel like I’m slacking in that department where as he’s always spot on!  So far – So good.
{14} Clean House, Clean Laundry.  I feel caught up with life when that’s finished.
{15} Gifts on my doorstep that I don’t expect.  It’s such a beautiful surprise!
{16} A rainy day where I get to stay indoors and listen to the pitter-patter of raindrops while sipping on coffee and making cookies and watching movies!
{17} My sweet little Pomeranian pup!

{18} A clean face with zero pimples – seriously, pure joy during those times!
{19} Nick’s Spicy Sausage Penne Pasta.  (obviously, mine is minus the meat these days, but it’s still SO GOOD!)
{20} German Chocolate
{21} Natural sun-kissed skin that I get when I’m wearing sun-screen throughout the summer but still spending lots of time outside.  I protect my skin, but still get a beautiful glow
{22} Those 3 weeks in between every “girl-time”
{23} The satisfaction that comes from raking leaves
{24} Being an inspiration to others and encouraging others!
{25} Dunkin Donuts coffee & donuts

{26} Papa Johns Pizza late at night w/ garlic butter
{27} A spoonful of peanut butter
{28} Fast computers
{29} When my boss tells me I did a good job or I did something right – I’m all about words of affirmation!
{30} Mickey Mouse Pretzels!!!!!!!!!!!

{31} A lazy evening that includes a bottle of wine and a favorite movie
{32} Blogging…. at least for now 😉 Honestly, you never know when that will change lol

What makes you happy?!
