The Happy List



Are you ready?  Almost ready?  I've finished the wrapping and only have some baking to do.  The problem with baking goodies is the temptation to eat the baked goodies.

My Happy list:

-two cups of hot tea instead of one a day, feels decadent
-Christmas tree lights, houses decorated for the season
-the Advent calendar my mom made when we were first married
-nearing the shortest day of the year this weekend
-daily walks in mild late fall weather as we approach winter
-the hoot of the owl in the woods in the morning
-the deer that greet me every day
-quiet mornings full of promise
-the rare avocado that is good inside
-finishing off projects making room for some new knits
-the kindness of others
-the anticipation of my children home for the holidays
-a clean kitchen at the end of the day

what would make your happy list?

Have a great weekend :)

  7. A clean kitchen at the end of the day would definitely make my happy list...because if it isn't, I'm not a very happy person in the mornings...seriously, it messes with my mind! ;)

    Have a great weekend, and a very blessed Christmas season, Karen. I know you are going to enjoy having your kids home!

  8. just chucked three avocados last night.....it would definitely make my happy list if I could get one this time of the year that was good!!!!

  9. Great list! I'm laughing over the fact you think two cups of tea a day is decadent. What does that make my usual four cups a day? :-)

    The thing that would be at the top of my happy list would be all my kids arriving safely for Christmas.

  10. I just planted an Avo tree that came from one of my Father In Law's ago pits. Pretty cute. So, I guess that's on my happy list. : )

  19. I love the idea of a happy list. The first things that come to my mind are: being with my children, two cups of coffee each morning, a daily walk in the brisk air, and curling up with a good book and plenty of uninterrupted time to read it!
