I think Christina's response after putting together her list has been my favorite - she said that she can't help feeling happier. It's so true! When you put together a list of great things, it's like BOOM, smile. Even better, she sent it to Andy (the hubs) and asked for his in return; something to get him excited to come home!P.S. We celebrated Christina's birthday this weekend and I felt like I was in college all over again. I can't remember the last time I stayed out so late and ordered late night pizza, but it was a blast! Post to come!
- Getting actual emails and letters from people I know—especially from a special someone when he’s out at sea (Erika's note: Her hubby, Andy, is finishing up his LAST Navy submarine patrol ever! Hip hip hooray!)
- Long phone conversations with faraway friends and family
- My friends at work and our ridiculous and random mid-day conversations, emails, distractions
- Warm drinks on cold days
- Flowers, whether they’re growing in my garden or delivered to my desk (Erika's note: Amen to that. Watching your desk fill up with flowers even makes my day!)
- Finding money in my pockets that I didn’t realize was there
- Anything chocolate, or peppermint-flavored, or both
- Watching the sun rise over Mt. Rainier / Seattle on a clear day
- Chick flicks and wine
- Food from home, including Texas barbeque, Mexican food, and my dad’s fajitas
Yay for happy lists!
