I think it's important to recognize the things in life that make you happy and express gratitude for those things you are thankful for...on my way home from Calgary most recently I decided to make a list of things that bring me Joy. What started as one or two items quickly snowballed. Here are some of the things I wrote:
- playing with my "boys" (Dominic and Charlie)
- spending 'quality' time with Tyler
- reading great fiction books
- scrapbooking
- talking all night/late with friends
- planning...parties, dinners, funtions...
- discovering: great songs, new artists, great ideas & perspectives, new friendships
- choosing/finding gifts for others
- phnemonal tv/movies that make you feels things: happiness, sadness, inspiration
- going to the theatre
- singing in my car
- listening to my music in general
- making people laugh WITH me and sometimes even at me
- eating in great restaurants
- cuddling with Tyler
- travelling to places on my life list
- being inspired, listending to great people talk
- meeting new people, making new connections
- reinventing myself
- getting my hair done
- getting my make up done
- having beautiful nails (even if they are fake!)
- getting a massage
- exploring new concepts and ideas
- challenging the status quo
- decorating
- shopping
- sparkles
- finishing a cleaning/organizing job
What are some of yours?
