I woke up this morning on the wrong side of the bed. (literally) Firstly, my 4 year old son had somehow made it into my bed & taken over my side, but my true crankiness was stemming from the fact that my ex-boyfriend ,who I love dearly & consider my best friend, was heading to Chicago to celebrate his 50th birthday & I was not going to be a part of this special weekend given the current status of our relationship.
So,I dragged myself out of bed, got myself ready in 20 minutes & somehow had enough time to stop at Starbucks on the way to school. To my surprise I look up above the cash register and saw the sign: "Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back for the season". Woooohooo it's that time of year again. For those of you that are caffeine addicts like myself, this is a HUGE day. My man-related misery turned to instant girly bliss!
It got me thinking...it's the little things that make us smile. Somewhere in our crazy, hectic days there are things that just can turn a frown upside down instantaneously. So, I decided to compile a list of all things that make me seriously happy.
Here goes:
My son's laugh, dusk, back tickles, dancing naked to Depeche Mode, tall nonfat pumpkin spice lattes, rainbows, peonies, afternoon naps with the one you love, dark chocolate with orange peel, driving with the top down, fresh crisp sheets, warm bread pudding, hot bubble baths, dimples, listening to my iPod on shuffle, Clinique Happy, mountains, a handwritten greeting card, great sushi, a good massage, steam rooms & saunas, listening to the waves roll in, butterflies when you meet someone & you just "know" that it's going to be something special..
Tonight I will go to bed happy. Happy for the little things & grateful for the chance to experience the ups & downs of true love.
I like this one!
