Cecropia Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Ending the day with the important things done and everyone still smiling Oh yeah... Why is the smiling part so hard to accomplish??? I also second finding a really good deal. I love picking up something useful for cheap. ~~~~ My playlist that I like to sing and dance to Nuthatches and woodpeckers Miniature dachshunds Coffee made the way I like it Uncrispy bacon A long, hot shower Beadweaving a piece of jewelry for myself Pot painting places Feeling pretty in a swishy skirt (see: dancing...). Even going up and down the stairs in a floaty skirt perks me up! Period romance flicks (Pride & Prejudice, Jane Eyre, North and South...) Hiking alone in the middle of nowhere Frozen cheesecake, lemon bars, or raw buttermilk sugar cookie dough, also baking in general Bug hunting The smell of the woods Spending time with dh Cute 9 month old happy baby face When the wind picks up and the temperature drops as a big storm is rolling in Witnessing a random act of kindness Board or card games, played with adult friends! (sorry, kids, you aren't as much fun...) Hearing the "cha-ching" on my phone when I get a sale Edited May 11, 2017 by Cecropia 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaBearTeacher Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Looking at fancy dresses of the past though I wish I had the opportunity to wear them too! The wind in the trees in the summertime a new haircut that makes my hair so much more manageable a good movie seeing babies when my kids are happy when someone tells me they love me organization in my house water (oceans, lakes, rivers etc.) flowers discovering something educational or that will expand my kids' horizons 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinE Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Daffodils. Every night, my ds4 saying to dd2, "Good night, little pumpkin. I love you." My family playing outside together. Basketball, swimming, soccer, whatever. Game night. Clean sheets. I read a book with a character who slept on freshly-laundered sheets every night. I thought that sounded wasteful, but awesome. Hours to lay in bed and read a good book An amazing cup of coffee. My puppy when he's calm and loving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spryte Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Cappuccino on the porch in the morning, with DH. Birds singing while drinking said cappuccino. Watching kids play outside. Here's a weird one: I love seeing kids eat veggies and fruits. Seeing kids engrossed in something they love. Office supply stores. Window shopping online for clothes. Underclothes, too. Good music. Gardening. Sunlight through leaves. Listening to frogs on the back deck in the evening, with wine. There's so much more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaillardia Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 song of a black capped chickadee seeing baby birds in the yard, hearing them in the trees hearing spring peepers browsing nurseries and plant sections of stores when my adult kids reach out to me first ladybug on my shirt waking up and knowing I slept well I wonder how these lists differ from season to season. A clean house. Feeding a family that needs a meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Sunshine. Rock climbing. I can go to the gym or crag in a terrible mood and once I start climbing, it all disappears. I can be climbing like total crap and still have a huge lift in my spirits. No other exercise does this for me. Doing crossword puzzles. Reading - an engrossing story with characters I love. Seriously, this (and you guys) kept me sane during my long recovery and frequent set-backs from my ankle surgery. Having a control of the remote so that I can watch a quality British tv show. A nice gentle foot rub after a hard day. It's better than Tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 -dh bringing me a cup of coffee when I don't expect it - watching the kids help each other without being asked - morning TeA, seriously the day runs so much better if that is how we start our morning. -clean dogs - talking to my sister on the phone - watching my children discover something new - hearing dd sing because it makes her so happy - writing - watching an episode of Dr. who in the middle of the day just for the hell of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Ds2 at bedtime... he sings his lullabies with me now, in his precious 2 year-old voice, and when I sing "crickets chirp your lullabies," he sings along "cickets sirp my yuyubies." Something about that pronoun switch is absolutely precious to me. Best part of my day, by far. :001_wub: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
