This week has been hard. My schedule (from the second my early alarm goes off to the time my eyes close as soon as I get the kids bedded down) revolves around keeping five small personalities (furry and not furry) alive and happy. Then on top of that I have a 6th one we have yet to meet taking up more and more space and energy from my body with each passing day. Also over the last six months my horse has decided that he has dietary and weight problems, so he has a strict feeding schedule now that takes preparation hours in advance.
Yes, I brought this all upon myself; however, that doesn't make it less exhausting. And honestly, taking care of other people day in and day out can get monotonous.
So today I decided to consider what are the things that make me happy? Because even just to remind myself that, "Hey, I enjoy listening to this particular song" or "You know what? My kids have been difficult today, but that smile they both flashed me makes me feel all the good vibes" can go a looooonng way in helping me to cope with this giving season of my life. It's about the little things, folks (and fellow mommies who may have forgotten).
So here are 10 Things That Make Me Happy (in no particular order):
- Framed pictures of my loved ones
- Bodies of water; the bigger the better
- Really good fiction books
- The perfect song
- Mountains
- Flowers
- My weighted blanket
- Clouds (especially rainy ones)
- A clean house (preferably my own)
- Sunrises
How about you? What are some things that make you happy?
