Happy List filled with Happy-making things

I keep this ongoing list of the little (and big) things in life that make me happy. I can't always explain why they make me happy since some of them are quite random, but they usually provoke a sense of childlike glee or calm contentment (or both), along with a smile. It's a good list to keep since it reminds me that I can be quirky and that I can appreciate the small stuff. Reminder: this is a judgement free zone...I did mention they are random.

Peeps: Preferred moderately stale with a slight bite to them

Straws: Who doesn’t enjoy drinking out of a straw?! Colorful or white, bendy or not bendy, striped or not striped, the wider the better.

Dvorak’s New World Symphony: Somber, dramatic, sweet, soothing, inspired - gives me goose bumps every time

Newly Sharpened Pencils: The smell is delicious

Toasted Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich: Warm and gooey and comforting on the taste buds

The smell of air before it Snows: Distinctly refreshing

Storm clouds: Foreboding and promising

Hal = LOVE

Fun and pretty cupcakes: I love examining and admiring them more than I enjoy eating them

Warm crusty bread: Worth the crumbs everywhere

Baking: It stresses me out yet I love it. Does this mean I love stress?

Gerber Daisies: Happy flowers that spread the mood

Recipes and Menus: Some of the best reads ever

Office Supplies: For when I pretend to be a neat and organized. Mini binder clips - so cute!
