5 Things That Make Me Happy

I saw this on Amy's blog and loved it, so here goes:

1) Clouds, especially when they bring rain, but any type will do.


2) Three-day weekends. We had one last week and I got an extra day away from school. It feels like such a gift to have a day to do whatever I want. I slept in, baked cookies, watched a movie, and went for a walk with Rebekah; all without leaving the comfort of my pajamas. Ahhhh, now that's relaxation!

3) My sweet baby girl, who has already brought me more happiness than I imagined kids would. Honestly, I'm sometimes surprised by how much joy I find in her.


4)Books. I love reading, it is so relaxing. I love that any information in the world is just out there somewhere and all I have to do to learn it is read it. Plus, I love a good novel just for frivolity.

5) Shopping, the stereotypical female response! I don't have tons of money to do so right now, but every time I get the chance, I feel like I'm spoiling myself and it's just so much fun.

There you have it. This is by no means an exhaustive list, and certainly not my top 5 for my whole life, just what I'm thinking right now.

Now, what makes you happy?

Oh, that is so sweet! It is funny how such simple things bring us the most joy sometimes.It might take me a while to narrow my favorite things down to a list of five. But, maybe I'll copy your idea one day.
