Things that make me Happy

Sometimes it is good to identify sources of happiness. What better place to record than a blog I can go back to again and again...plus it is easier (faster) to type up lists than to hand write. I think this list is going to be created organically, with one thought reminding me of the next. I just wanted to write today. We shall see how it turns out.
1. pressing my coffee first thing in the morning.... or 2. walking down the street early in the morning to grab a cup of coffee and see the neighborhood waking up
3. transitions between seasons, like when you can tell that summer is drying up and the light is changing and the breeze gets cooler, even for just a day or two, but you know that fall is coming...eventually.
4. being friendly- whether to a person walking down the street or by thanking the mailperson who drops off the mail... it makes me happy to be nice to others.
5. homemade fruit smoothies. 6. piles of fresh chopped vegetables.7. kitties in boxes 8. thinking about the future. Some people might think this isn't the best route to go...that living in the present is better. I agree that being mindful is important but I like imaging myself in a few years since I have a concrete goal in mind that I want to accomplish. I like to imagine life once that goal is completed. 9.climbing into bed that has fresh sheets. I love it. I don't make my bed everyday but whenever I put on clean sheets, I spread it up really well to maximize the satisfaction of getting in that night.10. the cinnamon scone from a neighborhood coffee shop. 11. ice cream cones in summer. 12. walking around, pretty much anywhere, with or without purpose. 13. Peanut butter. 14. breezes. 15. a clean kitchen. 16. olive green, mustard yellow, reddish orange, purple.17. Mad Men. 18.Vintage old lady purses. 19. rearranging furniture. 20. painting.(I'm not really skilled at all, I only do "abstract which means splattering paint on a canvas). 21. Drinking water, being thankful I have constant access to it. 22. vacuuming. for real...i love it.

i think that's all for now. Maybe I will create more lists as things come to me and post them.
