things to be happy about

I picked up a book at a garage sale last summer titled '14 000 things to be happy about'. The book is exactly that. A list of things that make you smile and have your cheek bones hurting. Its a book that celebrates the beauty of ordinary life and the little things life has to offer.

Today I give you a list of things that are making me happy

:: my best friend messaging to say she's coming to visit this weekend :)
:: celebrations of St. Patrick's Days soon to unfold
:: hot pink nail polish
:: sunshine
:: brother Grant calling from afar to chat and see what's new
:: also hearing the excitement in his voice as he counts down the days until he is home
:: warm breeze that smells like spring
:: chocolate covered strawberries
:: health
:: new blog started by a close family friend
:: warm, clean sheets and comfy pj's
:: freshly washed slippers
:: talking to a youth who participated at GO last summer, and the upcoming excitement for this summer
:: the fact that it's March 14th and my windows are open
:: picture text messages sent by friends
:: the feeling after Jillian Michael's workout DVD
:: a walk with a friend I haven't seen in forever
:: staying up past my bed time, to enjoy an episode of Friends
:: a warm cup of tea
:: crossing things off my 'to-do' list
:: realizing its 4:45pm and I've spent the past 3 hours on the phone

With that, I'm out of here.
Happy Hump-day!
